Current Chicago temperatures at 72 degrees along the Lakefront Midway 75 degrees and the official reading at O'Hare 76 degrees with a South Wind 21 miles an hour. WMAQTV, Chicago. The baseball week began with Fernando Valenzuela, suffering his first major league loss. On Monday night, he gave up four runs, three hits at this home run to Mike Schmidt, to suffer his first loss, but today, he makes his national television debut in Cincinnati. Top honors, though, for the week, go to veteran Jim Bibby after allowing a lead off single, retire 27 straight with a one-hitter. Three managers in the American League, ejected with some of the attributes, will take a look at that. Now, a week away from the strike deadline for proposals and possibilities, as we prepare for Major League Baseball on NBC.

2:01NBC Sports presents Major League Baseball, an inside-look at baseball and a preview of today's games of the week. Brought to you by a Lowenbrod, when you want the taste of a truly great beer, and there's really only one. Tonight, let it be Lowenbrod. And by Quaker State, New Caroll, staying on the road with Quaker State. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Baseball on NBC, or more appropriately, Buenos Terrides de Amas y Caballeros, Bienvenidos a la Baseball, and en base, say. I'm Brian Gumball. The Spanish is appropriate on this day because today, going for the Dodgers, Fernando Valenzuela, he's the man you've been reading about, the man you've been hearing about, the record tells it all. He is eight and one. He has seven complete games, six shutouts, an ERA of 0.91. The man is truly something sensational. Or, okay, he'll be going for the Dodgers today, as they go against the reds. Our other game has the reds, socks going against the Brewers.

3:01Turning our attention to News of the Week, Bob Kennedy is out as GM in Chicago, in his Herman Franks, Johnny Goral out as manager in Minnesota, replacing him, third base coach, Billy Gardner. Meanwhile, Steve Stone, remember a year ago, he was a saw-young award winner, 25 and seven. Well, now he's on the 21-day disabilness with a record of two and three in ERA of 4.72. Fernando Valenzuela, meanwhile, as we told you on Monday night, he suffered his first loss. It came at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies. Mike Schmidt, Homer Dothman in the first inning. Fernando, though, only gave up three runs in the night. His ERA ballooned, mind you, to 0.91. Meanwhile, Tom Seever just keeps rolling right along, just like old man River pitching is good as he ever did right now. Tom Seever picked up career win number 250, and came at the expense of the Chicago Cubs, fanning him, Arm de Jesus. Here, he's now got 41 cases on the year, a five-in-one record, an ERA of 2.04. Top honors, though, as we noted, was Jim Bibby.

4:01He took the hill against the Atlanta Braves. The first batter he faced was Terry Harford. When Harford lifted this loop single in a right field, nobody had a way of knowing that it would ruin a perfect game. Because Bibby retired the next 27 straight. The league's top hitter has this for a surprise. Art Howell of the Houston Astros, a better and utility infielder for much of his career. Art Howell now hitting 3.72. He has 55 hits to lead the National League, and he is the owner. A proud owner, mind you, of a 21 game hitting streak. There was a big trade this week. Jim Spencer, you see him cross the plate right there, hit a game-winning home run on Tuesday night. The very next day, he and his 143 average were traded off. To the Oakland A's. Headed along with Spencer out to the A's, is Tom Underwood, a disappointment on the Yankee uniform. Just one in four this year with an ERA of 4.41. The major coming over to the Yankees, this young man, 27-year-old left in the first phase of a day of revering the owner of a 230 average. Ejections, while there was free this week, were noting, look, Jimmy Fry kicked up some dirt.

5:01That's a pretty good performance, but it might not have been as good as Gene Michaels. We'll look at this one. First went the hat, then came the jacket. That was the first. But they were both outdone a little bit by the real master of getting thrown out. That is Earl Weaver. But Earl really didn't have a lot to complain about his orals. Very hot, winning 18 of their last 21, the A's, very, very cold in the opposite end, losing 8 of their last nine. And now checking the strike front, as you know, strike deadline. Set for May 29th, that is just a week away. Their owners and the players are meeting right now. Ian Marvin Miller's office. I spent some time with Miller on the phone this morning. We talked a little bit about the proposal that was offered this week. The owners, people say the proposal is different from the past. The players say it's nothing different at all. Let's take a look at some of the old and the new. According to the owners, there is no change, or should I say according to the players' association. There is no change in the fact that the owners want a premier player to be designated as one of the top 50% as compensation bait. The owners also want a secret draft, and they want the same compensation scale. The players admit that these changes have been made.

6:04The owners are willing to now include performance statistics to determine just who is a premier player. That they're willing to give the free agents the right to negotiate with more than 13 clubs. And that they are willing to say that for a premier, a free agent that's gone after 14 years experience, only amateur compensation is needed. Well, some people say that this was since this was Grieby's first movement in some 16 months of negotiation. It was perhaps to look good in the eyes of the NLRB. This past week, both Grieby and Miller went before the National Labor Relations Board to talk about the owners finances, which Grieby says is not an issue in the current baseball dispute. Contrary to the allegations of the players' association, the Major League clubs have never stated or even suggested that their financial status is an issue. In any way, an current collective bargaining. The sole issue in the current negotiations is the limited is limited to the clubs playing for replacement playing personnel for those clubs, which in the future may lose a ranking free agent.

7:10The subject does not involve the clubs finances and the clubs positions and bargaining has not been advanced or motivated in any way on a basis of a lack of financial capacity. As all of baseball awaits an NLRB ruling as possibly the only thing that might stay off a strike. There are a couple of things to remember. The four one could be staved off three things must happen. Number one, the NLRB would have to believe that the owners refused to bargain in good faith and that there was a violation of labor law. Secondly, the players' association would have to seek an injunction in court and third a judge would have to grant that injunction in order to stay off a strike. For those who think there may be a last minute change, there is this ominous warning from Ray Grebe quote that the owners proposed to remove both the need and or the possibility of 11th hour negotiations. So on this Saturday, it looks very bad indeed for baseball. I'm joined now by Tom Seever to my left with the reds and Dave Stewart on my right of the Dodgers because we have learned that the players' representatives will meet with Marvin Miller on Thursday. They have empowered him to do what's best for baseball. Let me ask the two of you.

8:13How united is the players' association? Tom, I ask you first because you're a veteran. You stand maybe some would say the most to lose by a strike. Well, I think that's one of the points that issue. It's really not something that's out in the open. But I think one of the points that issue is how strong is the players' association? And I think the association proved it's strength. The last time that was a strike, it proved it last year. And I think much to the disbelief of many of the people in this negotiation on the ownership side that they will sign that the players are very strong again. Is it worth the time there are some people who said, hey, it's not that big an issue to either side, you guys are fighting for pride. Well, I think that's a lot of behind the scenes. I think that definitely Marvin getting Marvin, I think, is an issue in this situation. It's sad to say, but I think it's true. And I think they want to test the association. They think the players will not go out. And I do believe that the Ray Grebe and his negotiating committee are trying to force the players out and the players will go out. I feel the players are very strong. Let me turn my attention to you, Dave Stewart, because a lot of people have said, hey, a show of hands in the locker room doesn't work because there's too much peer pressure that a Dave Stewart couldn't vote no in the face of a Steve Garvey and Aron Say in a Steve Eager voting, yes. How do you respond to that?

9:20Judging by what I've heard and the things that I do know about the strike, regardless, it wouldn't make a difference whether it was peer pressure or not. I would still vote in favor of the players association because what they're doing now is so that the younger players, myself and other players who are coming along will have the same benefits later on that the players have now. Does it make a young player a Dave Stewart afraid? You finally made it here. You've worked 11 or so innings. You're trying to make a name for yourself. You're not making a lot of money. Are you frightened? No, I'm not afraid. I'm not the least bit afraid because like Tom said, you know, the players association is strong. We proven it in the past and you know, we have good leadership in my Miller. I think that everything we work out for the best Dave Stewart. Tom Seever, thank you very much. Once again, the clubs have voted to empower their player representatives and more people. Marvin Miller on Thursday night to do what they believe is best for baseball. We'll be back in a moment.

10:21Here's to good friends. Tonight, first week. One solo, he's ready for the space program. I'm going to set this thing down in about 10 minutes and I expect terrific reception. I bought a set of case alone, Brown. Perfect. When you want the taste of a truly great American beer tonight, let it be low and brown. Must have been great. I don't know. It's pretty great down here. It wasn't just what the kids and I needed. Classic styling, size 14, double E. But I just didn't see how I could handle the financing. Wouldn't you know, Realty World have the answer? They're real like financing alternatives gave me information on flexible home financing. So thanks to real flex, I am the so owner. You cut me to the eye for you.

11:21And all the time I've been hauling new cars, I've never seen anything like it. Waker State's new lifetime engine lubrication protection program. Use Quaker State and you can get protection that guarantees your new car engine against all related failure. The engine has long as owner in riding. It's guaranteed by Quaker State. The quality motor oil refined from the Pennsylvania great crude oil. You car are old. You'll be staying on the road with Quaker State. Baseball is not the only sport now involved in an ugly off field dispute. As you know, the Raiders and the NFL are in the courtroom. Trial moved into its second week this past week. Let's take a look at the issues report from NBC News, Meredith Lewis. As the Oakland Raiders see it, the NFL maintains an illegal monopoly over professional football. The NFL is supposed to promote competition. But when NFL members voted here to keep open from moving to Los Angeles, the lawsuit accuses the league of restraining competition, ticket sale competition from having two teams in the same area.

12:25The Anaheim Stadium is 30 miles from Los Angeles, but the NFL allowed the Rams to move here two years ago from the old Colosseum. If the Raiders moved into the Colosseum, the club could sell more tickets, but a transfer could also mean some lucrative capel and satellite TV contracts for the Raiders. In federal court, NFL Commissioner Pete Rosal testified that Raiders owner Al Davis knew that a transfer required the approval of three force of the league's members. We've repeatedly said that I had as far back as October 1978, an oral agreement. I had the right to move. My football team, you know, if the eventuality became a reality, I had the right to move without a vote. Davis accuses Rosal of conspiring to keep the Raiders out of Los Angeles, but Rosal denies that charge. I did not, and the club presence in National Football League have great difficulty in conspiring to reach an adjournment of a meeting, let alone anything beyond that. A negotiated settlement is still very possible in this trial. Even Pete Rosal himself has been quoted as saying that the league might favor an expansion team for Los Angeles, as long as Al Davis had nothing to do with it.

13:34Mayor of Lewis, NBC News, Los Angeles. I'm joined now by my buddy Pete Axtome, who rarely takes things as seriously a solvice would like to believe they are. Pete, you're very close to the Raiders situation. What are your feelings? Well, Brian, I think the league has won the opening rounds of this thing, but it's going to be a long one, and trials are very hard to handicap. Rather, I have a horse race. Should Warren fans, sports and courts are tough to make, a friend of mine, Eddie Skyler of the AP, covered a boxing trial recently. After seven days, I got a relax and go to a real fight. In the third round, he jumped up in the other objection. The baseball strike is getting, unfortunately, a little bit serious. What are your sources tell you? Well, I figured out on my own that the owners aren't the only people who have shown little confusion in recent weeks. You know, the players picked May 29th to go on strike, because they thought they were knocking out Memorial Day weekend and all the big crowds. Nobody told them Memorial Day was this weekend. So if I'm expecting a Christmas present from Marvin Miller, I'm thinking New Year's Day. And one final question. Who do you think is the real loser in this? Some people say the fans, some say the owners, some say the players who can least afford it?

14:34Edgar, the football player's union. Every time a football player reads about the numbers being thrown around, his constituency gets shakeier. You're a weird baseball fan. Stick around. There'll be a feel going the third inning. We're going to step aside for just a moment. When we come back, we will talk about the man who the 50,000 or so we're expecting have come to see. Fernando, Valenzuela, Ole. A work of nature, this beautiful. There's an oil stain, this beautiful, this rich, this enduring, Olympic oil stain.

One roll-age and one Tums tablet are added to stomach acid, both neutralize the acid.

15:38But on those occasions when your stomach has even this much more acid, Tums can still absorb it. Roll-Aids can't. Because tablet for tablet, Tums neutralizes one third more acid than roll-Aids. Where acid indigestion and heartburn all you may need is this. Tums. Combine martial art karate with a power and worries of heavyweight boxing and you get the exciting EKH Championship out. Plus, it's the incredible group strength of the world's strongest women in the world powerlifting championships tomorrow on NBC Sports World. All eyes I remember front today on Fernando Valenzuela, he of the fine left arm, but his young man from Mexico who does not speak English. And as I found out last night when I talked with Fernando, the problem is you have to use Tom Lasorta sometimes as an interpreter. Tommy, I've noticed he has copied something from your style in your grade days in left-handed pitcher. And that is that there is a point which he closes his eyes during his motion.

16:40Could you ask him if he picked that up from you? He says that you are the only pitcher who is close to your eyes when you are taking the ball. I think you learned that from me. Well, I'm jealous because I don't see him when I'm out there because I'm not going to be able to do it. I think you're going to be able to do it there because you're going to be able to learn. He said he closes his eyes because a lot of times you don't want to see something. You don't want to look at me. That's what he learned from me. Is he aware of how good a pitcher you were, Tom? And he's a apragota, said to Sammy, you're a grand pitcher when you're a pitcher. Well, I was just saying that you're a little bit old. He said he's true. But true. I'm telling you the truth. He said he thought I was until he heard you say that you had a double off me. Now he does a believe that I wasn't good for him. How would he describe his relationship with you?

17:41Comotupueda explica, two relashions come in. Comotupueda explica, two relashions come in. Comotupueda, come to center de me. Well, I feel good because I understand what I'm doing in Spanish as I know, and I'm not a Dominican for that. I feel good because I'm going to win. He said that he wanted you to know that I'm the finest manager he's ever played for, and he loved me very, very dearly. And all the years he's been in baseball, he never really found someone who really did the job for him like I did. And he was very, very happy to be playing for me. He loved the Dodgers very, very much, and he's very happy to be here. I noticed the hesitation. He's not the first person you left speechless. Is it true that all your hopes are with him and he is never, never far out of your sight? You better believe it. Look what I think of Fernando right there.

18:41That's my man. All I could say is Viva Fernando and Muchas Gracias Mexico. Fernando at eight and one, the Dodgers at 28-11, both figures helping Tommy LaSona look like a very, very brilliant manager this baseball season. Fernando at his national debut, going against Mario Soto and the Reds, and our other game is the Red Stocks, the Rower's Torres against Slurche. I'm Bryant Gumball. Thanks for joining us.

20:47and let him leave his life. Just like I've led mine. Mark Fedrich, giving advice to Valenzuela. Fedrich who found himself pretty much like this young man.

The pivot makes it better and by click here, makers of Areva, even its footprint tells you it's different. It's a beautiful day in Cincinnati, a bright sunshine and a good crowd on hand, some 50,000 as we get ready to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds. Hi everybody, I'm Joe Garajola alongside me. Tony Kubek is always in. Tony, all we've been reading about is Valenzuela. Valenzuela, the new sensation, but the other side of the field, we've got a guy named Mario Soto pitching. Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people in Cincinnati and our television network will be coming to see Valenzuela. But a kid from the Dominican Republic, Mario Soto, as you mentioned, last year against Atlanta, he overpowered that ball club, struck out 15. So if he is right, he may be a star today's game also.

22:47Well, we'll have to wait and see, but right now before the game, it is all Valenzuela. And I'm going to ask his manager, Tom Lassorta, what is a Fernando Valenzuela? Well, Joe, after watching him, I've come to the conclusion that it's really an Inca Prince 2000 years old and a big Dodger in the sky called him and said, I've got an assignment for you. You've got to go down to earth. You've got to get into this body of this young 20 year old and help Tom Lassorta and the Dodgers win a penit because they need help very, very much. This guy is amazing. I just can't believe it. So there you are. You'll be watching the 2000 year old Prince coming back. You will hear the lineups for you right after these messages. I just put that up for your green aura. We took a little detour. It'll be totally terrible. Well, we want to say thank you for putting up with us these last couple of weeks. So if we stop in the store and pick up some long ground, we'll find out that you see folks are all right.

23:47But when you want the taste of a truly great American beer tonight, let it be low and brown. We had such a good time. We're coming back next year. OK, but don't tell my horse is that. You're looking at super pain from Sherwin Williams. It's so chemically superior, even to other Sherwin Williams paints, that when you use it, we guarantee you won't have to pay it again for ten full years. I do know how you feel about painting. Superpaint. It's available in interior and exterior. But it's available only at a Sherwin Williams store. Fact. When you waste gasoline, you waste money. Fact. A lot of leading motor oils now claim to save you gas. Fact. The black oil arco graphite saves you more gas than those other leading oils. Why? Because friction rubs you of gas mileage. And arco graphite reduces friction better than any of those oils.

24:48So start saving gas. Use arco graphite because it's a file. Not friction. Look for arco graphite's $80 refund offer. Since 1933, the All Star game has been a highlight of the baseball season. This is the 12th consecutive year fans have voted to help select the All Star team.

Ballots are available free at retail stores featuring a Gillette All Star display and at major and minor league parks. Balloting ends July 1st. So be sure and get out and vote. Furnished by Major League Baseball and Gillette. Well, today to give us a dodgy lineup we have a special friend. Would you give us a lineup please sir. Hey Arjo right there on that page. No, no, no, no, what do you tell us is playing? Well, the first place we have the first place we're in the second place.

25:48No, no, no, no, you've got to call out the names, the names. Oh, call out the name. Well, that's the right. Russell, Landrow, Baker. Oh, no, just read the names in the position so they can mark down the lineup. Oh, well built. Bill Russell is adding first and playing sure. Sure, stop. We'll be playing center field batting second in third position. We have Dusty Baker. Dusty Baker and he's playing center field. He's playing center out there in the middle of the right and the left fielder. And then we have Steve Garry batting fourth and playing first base. Third base we run say batting fifth. I love that word fifth. And then there's Pedro Guerrero, right field batting sixth, Mike Socian batting seventh and casting. Darryl Thomas, we batting eighth and he will play second base. And that sensation in the middle of a picture. Fernando, battle's in trailer will be in ninth position and he'll be on the mound. Where's my favorite player? Who is your favorite player?

26:48Bobby Wine. Bobby Wine. Bobby Wine. Yeah, I have a favorite in baseball. I have a favorite club in golf. What's your favorite club? Canadian. Foster Brooke, there's a line of give, Ritoni. Had the different Foster on left field at George Foster. For instance, Eddie Kenny Gripian, center Dave Collins and right. Ray Knight and third Dave Concepcion at short. Ron Oster at second base. Johnny Bands continues to play first base for the Reds. Mike O'Berry, the catcher and Mario Soto of the Dominican Republic. And he is charged up with his ball game. Why? I'm not going to catch the catch, Valenzuela. Youngster really got a reaction, Valenzuela. One day it went down to bullpen and also one day announced him. Soto will be going against the hottest club in baseball. 28 and 11 to Dodger record a percentage of 7-18. They won five of the last six road games.

27:50Soto averaging 8.2 strikeouts for nine innings, 3.3 walks for nine innings. So the national debut of Fernando Valenzuela gets underway with the first pitch thrown by Mario Soto to Bill Russell. Soto and his manager's eye, Johnny McNamara, may have been seven wins in one loss this year. Had he had some support and some run. Look at Jan Hope play. He's a runner behind the plate and you'll be able to pick up those strikes without us telling you. He lets him know. That's from his minor league training when he let everybody in the ballpark know what the count was. Let's be a foster, big heart. He'll not get it. It'll be extra bases for Russell. He lost something, Tony. He didn't get a good start on the ball. It may have been a sunglasses that fell off his head or from inside his pocket. Bill Russell could be comes over to help him out.

28:52I think those were sunglasses popped out of his pocket. Bill Russell was hitting at 192 with no home runs. 8 runs batted in. He's on its second base in Kenny Landrow with four home runs. 20 RBIs hitting at 280. Landrow came over from the Minnesota twins in the Mickey Hatcher deal. One job right now. Get the ball to the right side and get the runner Russell a third base. When Dutch runner finishes on fire behind the plate, he's got to sleep well at night. He really, really puts out an effort. Right back. It may have a plate just barely into the stands. Two strikes on Landrow. Dusty Baker is the on deck batter and Baker now says that he tells Landrow every time that he goes up there, drive him in but leave yourself on so I can pick you up.

29:56Baker did that last night with three RBIs. That became when he hit. Landrow is quite an acquisition for this ball club because they've struggled in that center field position for a while. When they got hurt off and on, Darryl Thomas filled in temporary Pedro Carrero. Landrow came along. This man can throw. He can run. Ground ball. He's out. Loved the man the third. There's a pitch that I would question. And it is not a second guess. No balls to strikes. He changes up on. Why not pass ball trying to move it to the left side. If it's a pass ball outside, I don't think he can pull it. He just kind of picked that ball to the right side. Avala Pitchie could pull and get Russell down and Darryl can now score on the sacrifice fly. Good basic baseball. Thought if he strikes him out, gets him way out and probably say what a great test to. Here's Dusty Baker who had 12 sacrifice fly's last season. He's got a man on third.

30:57Needs one now. He did a 305, three home runs. 19 runs better than hit a home run last night. Strike one. Way out in front. Reds are tied at the corners. Night and bench will go home. Concepts showing an oyster in the middle of the diamond. They will concede the run unless it's a sharp one hopper. Then they may try it home. Out of play. Two strikes account on Dusty Baker. 1980 game winning RBI 17. 503 slugging percentage. Dr. Skull, he calls himself. He can scull the horse high. He got him. Big strike out for Socho. Oh, Mary sets up outside. See. Looks like a sinker. He pulled the string on it. Took something off.

31:57He went one time two years ago. Strictly a power picture. Hard fastball, hard slider. He has learned one of the best changes of pace. It's all a baseball. Which makes that power stuff look even better. And he had it in a great spot. Low and outside. It was out of the strike zone. But he had that luxury since he was way ahead of Baker. And here's Garvey. Look out. Moves him back. All one. Garvey hitting 265. Three home runs. 28 runs better than hit. One fall, one strike. Garvey in his 876th consecutive ballgame. Russell a third. Put some sex on the all-time list. First lead Garrett. Never be broke. 2,130th consecutive ballgames. Mrs. Inside, two balls in one strike. Garvey has had 14 RBIs in his last 19 games.

33:02Russell's a third. Two outs. Good last ball. Well, for those teams who use the radar gun and six net, he does an occasion. They have clocked this guy, 93, 94. Two balls, two strikes, two outs. Bill Russell is a third. Top of the first. Both count now. And his last 18 innings, Soto, is struck out 16. He's 17 out of 19 and he's now with Baker strike out here in the first. Line drive, a foul ball. Just fairly foul. Kerbal was up and Garvey was out in front of it. Russell heads back to third. That's the yardstick that you use on the pitcher. How good a pitcher is he with a man on third and less than two outs.

34:04With that situation, Soto struck out Dusty Baker. Now has a full count on Garvey. He walked. He brings up Ron's save. The hottest hitters in baseball right here. They have adjusted his range. He's not pulling the ball as much. Or he carries this ball over his back. He's a good part of May, late April. May 27 home runs and 19 runs batted in. Eight home runs is last 19 games. That's how he is. I think it's interesting. Joe is talking to Ronnie before the game. So why after all these years did you change? Used to be a strict point where he said, well, I got tired of hitting line drive right at guys on the left side of the time. Getting more experience. I'm hitting the opposite way more. Hopped him up. Great night says I'll take it. He does and Soto and Cincinnati gets out of the inning. If not, he's not scoring the top half of the first. We go into the bottom half. It'll be Colin, Scriphe, and Conception against sensational Fernando Valenzuela.

35:07He's the main foe. He can't reach another score. He's rushing rollercoaster. He's the main foe. He can't reach enough to miss three. He's rushing rollercoaster. No. He's foe me thick and rich enough to support this lovely lady. No. He's foe me thick and rich enough to hold up this husky height. No. But if you want a clean, close shave, it's more than thick and rich enough. Now get a free after razor with Gillette foe me. How do you get around in all kinds of weather? Escort and Arreba. VW and Arreba. Arreba and Arreba. Skylar can Arreba. Good year, Arreba. An all-season radio. A steel-belzard radio. An advanced radio designed for traction for a year round. Even its footprint tells you it's different. How do you get around in all kinds of weather? All-alimaging diamonds in Arreba.

36:09Arreba only from good year. The ring side with tomorrow's champions as 18-year-olds knock out Ardustonia Gala takes on veteran campaigner Pat Halle C plus Boston's Danny Long battles the undefeated Alex Rimos tomorrow. You're getting every possible view you can of a sensational valentuela. Tony, I like to want it to bottom half on the right side because you can really see how you hide that ball and looks away. Never looks at the batter. It just seems that way. He is not a one-dimensional pitcher. He found that from everyone we've talked to. It is not just a screw ball with him and we'll talk more as this game goes along. Dave Collins will lead it off in plain right feel for Cincinnati and Ken Griffey who's in center field. Dave concepts the own batting third as George Stop. There's Collins. Clean up Peter as a left-fielder George Foster. Johnny Fancy first base.

37:09Rain night at third base. Ron Osterbats eight or seventh rather. Second base Michael Barry the catcher and then Soto. There was the screw ball and you saw it break down and away. You'll see that happen a lot this afternoon. It's ball one. That was his hard screw ball. When he gets to a strike out situation he takes something off it. Slow one. One out. Right at Steve Garvey. Collins is out. I think one of the distracting things about Valens Weller that helped him is his motion. He seems to look up at his bill of his cap as he starts his delivery. Closes his eyes, turns his head. And if you're married and got a couple of kids at home and you're in a bad as box you'd like to say I'm over here for an and no look at me please. The motion you are talking about is exactly the same for every pitchy throw. The two kinds of fastballs, two curves, two screw balls. Ball one. Everything that could possibly be written and said about a player has been written and said about Valens Weller.

38:17There was the screw ball again. Joe to me that is the difference between an orgerous screw ball pitcher and a Gallag Balanced one. He throws it to left-handed hitters. With some say don't do it because it is breaking in his eyes. Look at his eyes. Look at him. Look at his cap. He's looking at the men. The sword of time. The big Dodger in the sky. Oh that was a great shot guys. Camera crew great because it showed exactly it out. If you can. Oh that was great. Superhulsier one strike. He looks at the bill of his cap, turns his head and closes his eyes. How are you going to hit a guy like that Foster? Foster Proctor is here with us. Strike two balls and two strikes. Foster sang a national anthem here and gave our lineup. Getting ready for his big golf tournament in Louisville on Monday a one day tournament. You could poke down the Louisville area. I know you enjoy. We're going to miss it this time. We can't make it.

39:17We make it other year. It's a day and day. Wow tip got him. Slide. He will throw for left-handed hitters. If you poke down Valens Weller's stitches. He has the striker to Griffey. He had thrown him a couple of screw balls that he piled into the Cincinnati dugout. And that's what we meant when he's not one-dimensional. He has the curve, slider. Two kinds of pass balls and two screw balls. Watch his eyes as he looks up at the bill of his cap. There they go. I know you have high pints from ball right here too. The leg. Loving your face and elbow. Dave Conception said to us before the game he was going to take the first pitch in hopes that it was a screw ball So he could see how big it would break and how hard he throws it David usually a first ball later, but he said he would take the first pitch. Let's see if he remembers He can all the way and that was He's got a ball in the back

40:24Sepp she owned still leaving the league in our be eyes with 32 Fast ball one fall and one strike I asked Terry Royce having a good year himself for the Dodgers What impressed him all about balance really set his control? So I've never seen anything like it for a kid 20 Line five. I think one of the big reasons Tony He's 20 years old on the first pitch if they could but he's always played against older players And that kind of competition. I know I went through it. You went through it You're really not over-awed by the age factor like you see some of the youngsters who come up Two balls and two strikes cost you want to do a couple innings You know Three balls and two strikes

41:27Bull count was that Fernando balance away? I thought he was at foster that was foster The Louisville players fostered. Thank you very much for the line-ups good luck on a tournament Monday. We'll be there next year Okay Three balls two strikes two outs The other thing they talk about balance well he is an excellent fielder when he gets the ball He knows what to do with it. He's an excellent movie first base and he can hit What other category is that what else is there that? Is that it being a superstar? He's the left field way back Baker makes the play Well hit but not deep enough one two three for Cincinnati We complete one in a baseball here. There is no store It'll be Guerrero's associate Thomas for the doctor in a second

We love the taste But we surely appreciate the distraught of thirdless calories in the right kind You see you don't want to be filled up when you're out there punching dogs And tell like cowboy. I didn't want that doggy Might be a familiar everything. We'll always wanted an appear unless Take a look at Friday's scores Dodgers look 12 and he's a beat Cincinnati 4-2 Dusty Baker at a home run in three RBIs giant speed Houston 6-3 hard How extended his head he streaked at 21 games longest in the majors?

45:44Sochi who's done a good job catching Valenzuela in fact he's done a good job catching period he is Put Yeager and Ferguson both on the bench speaking a little Spanish helps him with Valenzuela mentally down the right field line It is 15 foul One strike Socia has one home run four runs batted in hitting a 261 Manning Mocha coach now for the Dodgers and Commissioner of course Fast years talks about social what a tough kid is he said in all my years I've never seen a catcher black home plate like Socia does To be literally wipe two guys out up and muttry all put that foot down ball and run her right at the same time he will not give drown It's got a lot of guy dead out is like that. Oh, yeah Gary Carter One one pitch it's a strike one ball two strikes

46:49Mario Socho is one of his last two games both complete games you struck out 16 in his last 18 innings 17 out of 19 now He got one in the first Sota last year was used I think it's difficult to do it, but he was using short relief long relief and then he started That's just about 190 innings and yet he was third in the league and strikeout Tell you what kind of power picture he is Recall a few years back on a straight training a tap and Sparky Anderson had him change his grip on Different occasions on the fastball go with the scenes and make it sick a little more they'll throw the one cross the same thing right I'll not apply when you talk about strikeouts Tony and the league Melon's a way little leads With 75 Carlton has 73 and Soato has 54 so you're looking at two of the top three working this afternoon

47:52He's getting his cuts two balls and two strikes the cow Baseball fans, I just want to remind you we're going to be doing the college world series You'll be seeing some of the Graduates in this game Kenny Landrow from Arizona State for example poster Easy play See that'll be a sports world presentation loaded on 9 June 7 Gonna be fun Well being Omaha Tony and I will be in Omaha to do the college world series June 7th on sports world Here is Darrell Thomas Thomas the super blowout patch for these Dodgers can play in the infield the outfield has even cuts some games for him Wherever they spring a league this guy's there to patch it up Alley's playing second because Davey loaps as a pretty badly sprained ankle got it sliding at a third base

48:55Dan that against the bag They were leading five to nothing when he stole third and one of the met pictures and really laid a line on him that's created a just a little bit of bad blood Two balls in North Braxette's room while he was laying there five Ron lead you're trying to steal third base I hope you're hurt for a long time shouldn't have said that Davey loaps is gonna steal everything including his fillings the next time he plays against him Why not they don't tell a home run hitter when there's a 10 and nothing he'd hey stop hitting home runs Do they I agree with you know I asked Davey about that Tony as we look at Darrell Thomas two balls in no strikes Slow Davey says there's a reason he said because it's a little guy I always steal and even a home run hitter doesn't have control the word he can hit the home run at any time But the base dealer has control and that's what makes him mad because I can steal it anytime I want to Three nothing pitch

49:56Ball four balance the way it's coming up. Let's listen to the reaction when he's announced He's nine for 27 as a batter a 33 average slugging at 33 is given in two runs Darrell Thomas is on his first draws a throw He's become a national hero in Mexico, which is obvious

Jay Johnston and the phenom Fernando Hard to describe

55:12What he has met you look at his statistics Sixth of Barbies he is first wins earn run average innings strikeouts completed games shutouts And he goes up the place like Montreal and the co-weathering draws over 40,000 people in the 50,000 gave at home He's doing what physics did not too many years back Place you went the fans came out They'll be facing George Foster no score bottom of the second foster with eight home runs 27 runs better than hitting 278 So I thought it was a screw ball Two strikes Now what will he do

56:12Two strikes on George Foster to lead off man in the bottom of the second there is no score Right back up the mentally turned over screw ball Hey Good boy look at social where he sets up right on the black and balance the way I hit the target may have thrown it down a little bit There'll time to circle the ball snap throw Eddie Montague at first base He's standing any monogues dad feeling a lot better maybe looking into they were very happy for me spent a lot of years in baseball Well fool down to it wouldn't hit that hard off the end of the back from Foster It's quite clear me Foster will head for second What the hurt is leg on that but he must have hurt something with or Candace Hill and hit the bag trying to beat that ball out balance the way lot

57:18Has picked off six runners this year three have gotten a second because of late throws Larry star will now come out the trainer as will Mac the mayor to look at see what happened to Foster So it's an error on melons well as Larry star and Foster and Mac the mayor I have a meeting Look at his calfers heel If it's the heel it's something he did when he made that last lunge and jump to try and beat out that ball what you did That we saw last year remember Sipainho Daniel Tars ankle up so severely still bothers him this year at massive surgery So now Johnny Benches up there nobody out Foster's at second base no score. We're in the second inning He'll be trying to go the opposite field Wait for that screw ball and take it that way if he can

58:20I believe that was your con jamming type Let's see setting up inside All one All two So far as we look at Foster and second base Bellens Wellay has been averaged in two point two walks for nine innings A count of two balls and no strikes on Johnny Bench All three Oh This pitching coach Ron Pernoski says he'll throw 50% are better

59:25screw balls There's a screw ball right there So we have Foster and second benches at first as we look at the Dodger bench money basketball many more in Tom Lassorda Great night to batter Night hitting two fifty four has four home runs twelve runs better than any's got a nine game hitting streak going He's 17 for forty three three ninety five average in that streak you think it's early to bond but Say is cheating up at third base balance away. I put you somebody low run ball games or run average of well way below one That back to their may decide the fun of may It's a strike One strike Foster at second Benches at first

1:00:30Dodger defense has been very good behind Venezuela this year they've come up with some big plays But she throws the ball he wants to and he's easy to position yourself behind Line foul He also is a fairly quick worker and by that it keeps the guys on their toes You know it's only how in feel is the guy like Stanhouse for example fiddled around and three and two would take four five steps away from you Well for a starting pitcher if you're playing behind him It's a difference when you're getting up on your toes and being ready 150 175 pitches of game as opposed to maybe a hundred Takes less energy your concentration better behind a guy like this Two strikes on rain night He doesn't fool around as we look at Foster it's a convention first balance the way with the two strike counts don't you that strike zone So she says something doing You know what he's looking for right now He he's got two things to go to he can bust him inside go

1:01:34Strike out or the screwball outside if you're a hitter. What are you looking for? With two strikes he's better not be looking for anything but the baseball Hitters hung up right between the fastball or screwball fastball missed one ball two strikes He also throws a pretty good sicker which has gotten him some double play balls for the course of this season The cops have taken an early lead to do nothing Herman Frank's the new general manager over there of Russia Mrs two balls and two strikes Russia against Burris End of one Chicago two Montreal nothing Boston won the walking nothing and of one Schmidt the young catcher home run for the Red Sox Baltimore to Detroit nothing the senses of two run homer bottom of the second Here's where he wants it to happen on two and two he doesn't want to run that count to three and two

1:02:36Here's his pitch of decision right here It's got to throw a strike in a good spot He got him screwball turned it over took something off that was a hard one He's got three they say two speed slow and fast but I believe that down as well that screwball about five different speeds And I wonder if he really knows Then he released the ball which one it's going to be he was way out in front of that ball Tony Joe Garajola with Tony Kupak here at Riverfront Stadium Michael Barry the catcher with one out and face runners at second and at first foster is at second Johnny Benches at first Ron Oster rather I had no very up there. He was the on deck batter foul ball Hostages the straight of that well too He's the kind of kid Oster does not overswing it's a piece of the ball using the whole field

1:03:36That might give a guy like balance away the trouble Nobody's giving much trouble is here Schmidt beat him in the home run spired in a home run The show's control inspired the whole run off him Bellens Weller came back into 19 consecutive strikes Oster is hidden 20 of his last 23 games He fouled this one off and it's a quick two strike count We'll keep you up to date on that Boston Milwaukee game As we will most of the game all the games Is any starting when foster beat out an infield hit Now on the way let's try to pick him off to a past Garvey foster went to second look like he may have heard his leg Painter came up but he stayed in the game benches walk Nine is struck out Here's Oster Missed one ball two strikes You've used the word missus about six times with him already in his first Well not even too completed when he misses he misses like by an inch and that's all

1:04:47One two pitch he got him That's the third strikeout and the second out miss any that's what he's been doing When he needs to strike out he gets it when he needs a double play gets it What last strikeout check to see if it the screw bar or not No it's not it's a curve ball and a darn good one Darn good one he throws a hard curve and a slow curve Set up before I was say again he is not a one pitch pitcher And he is command of the law That delivery helps him quite a bit too Michael Berry is the batter Very distracting when that pitcher is not looking at you One ball no strikes there's two things that distract you as a batter one of them is a pitcher with glasses Who the first thing he does takes him off and wipes them in blinks that scares you And then the other guy is a guy like well and Zawayla who doesn't look at you when he's throwing the ball

1:05:49Two balls in no strikes Well Louis Tiant from the right side has a screw ball of the right of pitches He did that look the way out the center field looked at people and stands Tiant pitched the next she co before Darrell Johnson called him back after everybody thought he was through I wonder if the kids saw him going and he couldn't have been Who knows People believe Abner double day saw Tiant He's been around a while bouncing ball He should be out of it Darrell Thomas to Garmin and Valinduayla is out of it After the first two runners get on he gets them one two three we complete two and he's a baseball Is a dodged nothing since that ain't nothing and we'll be right back after these messages from your local space Sunday it's a special presentation of Disney's movie classic Then on an all star special both for your favorite sexy man who played a ten on NPC Well Sharif who did it who changed the Olympia beer label

I think he's just relaxing He's a very low key kid isn't it? Very low extremely shy extremely shy he comes from a very humble family But when he came with the judges last year he spoke just yes and no yes and no now he's open in little bit Founcing ball rain night big hop it's one two three for the Dodgers so because the bottom half of the third inning

1:14:34Mario Soto takes the first pitch law in Jaime Horene The first driver in the world and now the way he... well his audience will be hearing it Thank you, thank you Joe, El Añsamiento is bajo al irto Fernando Valenzuela in the mountain trying to convert it in the first ganador of new refueles He's not doing anything what did you say? He's trying to become the first nine game winner Picture contra pictures impurse y el Añsamiento es futbol al tercerrado the beach high and inside. Good. Why don't you say in English? Better, you're sounds better in English than I. No, but yours is much more romantic. I always say like I see Ricardo Montob Mr. Pichero, what do you say he is upset right now the way he walked off the mountain?

1:15:36I would say so. He must be a little upset because he walked the picture, you know, opening the inning. He got trouble in the second inning after the infield single and air and then he walked bench, but he got out of it with two strikeouts in the ground out. His delivery is so smooth, Jaime, and he looks up in the air with those eyes. Yes, that's one thing that surprises everybody. His coolness and the mound, especially when he gets in trouble, the time that he puts in his use on a game satan with men and second hand throw he was always in trouble but he can't prove. So, the top. In Tira Bouson. There was that court through the job. That's it. This crew got home. Ombren primera no out. Para ensuring el Montículo leyendo las señas de socia. Matiando Collins sin fulgsons, la ensamiento, a encerrado se repasa la perota socha. No, wait a minute. Soto couldn't find the ball.

1:16:37I think another player other than the pitcher might have been down at second base. What's counts? It's a breaking ball down and in a curve ball. Socia, it's a wafel and I believe Soto is blocked out right there. Good recovery by Socia. He really pouts on that ball. He thought he caught it, though, Tony. And then when he realized he didn't have it, he took off. Collins batte and sacco line a la primera base en su primer turn al batte. Bren primera list of Fernando, lanza miento volar rápida baja. Fastball. No, rapid a fastball. Yes. And you know, he has a little over average his fastball. And but he has been stretching out some bars with a fastball like Mike Eid in Houston. He's just came out twice with a fastball because they are waiting for the scuba. He's just been playing. Lanza miento batazo. For the center. He'll be with the carota. The second. Abbey. The goal. Mario. When the. The second base up by Randy Mars.

1:17:38Yesterday was his first major league game had a tough call because say just flip the ball over to. They'll talk to him off the back. Look at this. He may have been off the back. Mars still is not call the out signal. You wait until he was tagged and now Mars makes the call. Say give him a lot of down ball drifted on Darryl Thomas. Tough call for the youngster. Mars lives right across the river. Having some contact with something to store that yet. That was a good piece of a bump iron because you could see he was ready to call him safe. You bet. He did not call it too soon. He's up. I'm about to get a king. Great. He has a very good both to first. Joe. He's in Houston. Another shot. First. Nice. Baden. So. The last event is a very intentional.

1:18:40Pitch out. Intentionally intentional. All right. What a surprise you the most about. He's cool. Cool. Especially when he's in trouble. Well, he has an idea in this situation with one out one ball. Most strikes. The Collins is a pretty good base dealer. Maybe on the move and balance well. A strong over trying to hold him close. Social strong 11 out of 38. Kind of steal. Very close. He's going down. One and a half. He's going down. One and a half. Wait, that. He's going to steal for the day. Collins. Collins. Well, even though he's got a good move to first. He is a little bit slow to hold plate with that high late kick. Collins guessed right. Cut pitch to throw on. But social bouches the ball in the turn. No contest. Not even close. One nice thing about Valenzuela Joe is the fact how he has reacted to the press in all the questions

1:19:45and press conferences around the league is amazing. I can see him only once, really nervous. We were in Philadelphia. And we had a press conference at 6th Stereo. And I went down and he said let's go 6th Stereo. When we walk into the room, they were at least 150 people there. And all the lights going on. The cameras. And I mean, the salt of cantado is right. And he was really shook up. He stopped it and took my hand and said, hey, what is this? He said, well, not the starters. He said, I don't know what I'm going to say. So it just takes easy, relax, listen to the question. Don't anticipate any questions. Take your time. I will translate. And you answered the way that you've not been doing. And after the second question, he was fine, smiling, and everybody was happy. That is the only thing that I have seen. I've seen him really nervous. Well, he's got another chance right here to get nervous with bass runners at first and second

1:20:45and one out and concept the own up there. He has been unusually wild. First inning, he breathes the long. He was no balls, two strikes very quickly on several hitters. But he's been behind second inning. And now this, he's walked two little third. Interesting to see if Davey jumps on the first pitch now because he took the first pitch his first time up. He's the first ball hitter. He wanted to measure this group ball and just want to see what he does this time. One section batting. Hombre's in primera y segunda listo el pitcher. Sin pulsar, lanzamiento, matas a medias por segunda. All right, he's been to can do the first. No, but they. That was a bad piece of face running by Griffey who just allowed himself to get attacked by Thomas Tony. What's this? He thought he could beat it. Darryl Thomas made a good play and a good off-down throw. Good call by Mars again, the double play. So at the end of three, no score. Nothing, nothing. You don't need a haircut, Jim.

1:21:45You need brokering. Brokering. Sure. Your hair is short enough, but it's a mess. It sure is. Brokering's so concentrated just a little dab keeps here healthy looking and in control all day. Look, I'll put a little dab of brokering here. Nothing here. See, even with the hair blower, the brokering side doesn't fly around. Without brokering, hair flies around. Terrific. You're right.

1:22:46I don't care how much I sweat. It's part of the game. Oh, crap. But off the field, I want to feel nice and dry and I want to smell nice. That's why I use speed sticks super dry and I'm perspirited. It's the wide stick. A factor protection with more dryness to help fight wetness. And it goes on dry so you can get dressed right away. So get on the stick. The wide stick. Speed stick, super dry and I'm perspirited. My men. On an all new two hour hill street blues tempers have slowed. You're a truck. A UZ. And a stakeout backfires Tuesday on NBC. Jay Johnstone on the left left Rick Monday on the right. All the Dodgers have a new idol. Oh, it's the sword I thought was going to be balanced. Weila. The sword is old hat. And open intended. Monday and Jay Johnstone Jerry Royce they got quite a group in a clubhouse. Garvey takes outside ball one.

1:23:47Garvey walked his first time up. Unofficially after three innings. Over half of balance well as pitches have been screw balls. This two base hits the ball game. Russell a double in the first. Infield single by foster of balance well. Well hit the left field. No doubt about it. One nothing dodged. Steve Garvey home run number four. There they are. The Dodgers there to Queenie to high five.

1:24:48And did he ever touch one off Tony. Babies in the second floor. Look at that head down the arm extension. Steve looks like he's backed off the plate a little bit. They may have been jabbing him. Great night. Nice play Ron say is out. I think he's gonna done that on certain grass. Try to dribble that ball down. Haven't come right back up. All right. Ten to doubt it. So the Dodgers have taken a one to nothing lead on the home run by Garvey. Garvey is a consistent man with the home runs. 70 70 at 33 78 he had 21 home runs. 79 at 28 88 26. Guerrero the right fielder fly to ride his first time up. One nothing Dodgers lead. Fourth inning. Ball on. That's the kid Guerrero that some who have seen him play in the minor leagues and last year with the Dodgers say his actions are a lot like Willie Mayes. Especially the outfield. It's Center field last year.

1:25:52Mario Soto one ball and one strike to count on Guerrero. Santo Domingo Dominican Republic. Mario Soto. A very big guy. Not a very big guy. It's those hard as he does. What is about a hundred and eight years old. Right field Collins should make the play. Two outs. Guerrero is out. It brings up Mike Socia who bounced out second to first his first time up. So to last year. You've got a staff here with Cincinnati. Of course receiver pastorians come on strong in the last couple of years. But Soto was a pitch day pitcher the year by the baseball writers here in town. Heirs is strike. So to is listed at six feet even one hundred and eighty five pounds. Born July 12 1956.

1:26:56First place funny Dominican Republic. Mario Soto. Oh he went after a top limb. Two quick strikes on Mike Socia. His delivery Soto does not as smooth watch. He puts what appears to be much more effort into his pitches in balance. Well I could he gets it all together right there with a push off. It amazes me the way arm is so important. Oster. To bench and CNN. But the doctors on a home run by Steve Garvey have taken a one to nothing lead. As we go into the bottom half the fourth inning. And it'll be George Foster Johnny Bench and Ray Knight, four Cincinnati and the fourth. They trail by one. You know one of the best things about coming to America was that I got to try American beers. And I tried them all. I want to like this light beer from Miller. It's got a third less calories in the regular beer.

1:27:58It's less filling and it really tastes like beer. That's why I tell my friends from Mexico. But you've come to America. Drink light beer. But don't drink the water. Like beer from Miller, everything you always wanted in a beer and less. We're Exxon. We're Bill Welch, whose people are finding new ways to discover and produce oil and gas. We're Tony Wong testing the effective Arctic ice on offshore oil operating. We're Tony Brown making computer maps of promising oil areas.

Plus, it's the incredible group spring of the world's strongest women and the world powerlifting championships tomorrow on NBC Sports World. The men of the hour, Fernando Vonesuela. You're looking at it from all angles. Well, he still reminds me, not just he's left hand and throws a scuba, but the delivery looks just like Luis Aroyo. Aroyo. We're so him with the Cardinals to give a great relief for the Yankees.

1:29:59Popped him up, took something off. Baker makes the play battling his son. You can see him fight it. He's a very relaxed young man on the mound. He could screw ball in the posture. You can see the spin on that. That was a great shot as he very naturally watches the fly ball. What a shot from behind hold. Like you can see that ball turning over and going down. You know, we go on and on about these shots, but picture yourself in the batter's box, much like Johnny Bench. Takes the pitch low and you saw on that close up how he looks into the cap, closes his eyes, and then the spin with the full extension of his arm where he threw the scuba that got George Foster. Scuba one ball and one strike. You read an interesting article in the last thing, and I know you've talked to Kyle Hubble about this young kid

1:30:59because Hubble was the man who everybody says may have invented a scuba. He did. Hubble was the man and he talks about the ball. Hubble was the man and he talks about the full extension of this Valens wayla's arm. He said he doesn't put a strain on his elbow or his wrist. And when you talk scuba, you go into the master when you talk about Mr. Carl Hubble, a hall of famer, and he's just the way he releases the ball is the way Hubble, I guess, threw the ball. Ron Parranoski is pitching coach and Bobby Castillo who taught the scuba a ball. He said there's no strain on the elbow and the shoulder. He doesn't all with his hand and his fingers and the grip on the ball. He's an usual wilder, they estimate. That's the fourth based on balls that he's given up. Johnny Bench twice. Tony Ayala, that tough teenager from San Antonio, continues as he goes for the championship

1:31:59that's on tomorrow's champions via satellite from San Remo, Italy. Ayala hasn't lost the match in 10 years. Tony, a teenager now. Also on the card, be a middleweight, Alex Ramos. His record is unblemished. That's tomorrow's three o'clock Eastern time on tomorrow's champions. Ayala, Ramos, three o'clock Eastern time. Rain night with that on strikes first time up. One ball account. Fernando has struck out three. He has walked four. He's attacked the mirror likes to hit and run with night. One and all count. There's one double play nice play by Garby. A double play got the ground ball. Here's a replay on it and Darryl Thomas wasn't sure he was going to get him, Tony. I had a reach to the ball, close the glove it wasn't there. I'll say everybody's raiding what kind of defense these guys are playing.

1:33:01That ends the fourth inning. We're going to fifth one, nothing dodgers. See all your favorite country stars and a song build two hours special from Nashville celebrating 50 years of country music Saturday on NBC. Give them love. Tell about it here. I want to have something when the real taste of fear is everything your first born. The original. Past. The world we live. Past. You're the only. Any kind can get you there but you can make you feel like you're real behind the wheel of a fear. The man moves you like the fiat nothing offers quite the thrill.

1:34:01No wonder comes and says you're supposed to be more said of the act. Of all the practical reasons for owning a fiat X19 the best one is how it makes you feel. The man moves you like the fiat. Running out of patience a special report Monday at 10 on Channel 5. All game in a moment. This is one of the tougher assignments from beautiful San Remo on the Italian Riviera. Hi everybody. I'm Mar Halbert and we'll be with you tomorrow and next Sunday on Sports World with more of tomorrow's champions exciting boxing featuring such undefeated youngsters as Tony Ayala, Johnny Bumpus, Alex Ramos and Davey Moore. And from the homeland of Joe Garajola we say salute back to baseball. Well Mar Valbert you said that salute like you were trying to say each of your heart outgairs you all and I don't blame you San Remo Italy.

1:35:03That's where Mar Valbert will be there as you heard him say. You'll see him tomorrow next weekend. Tomorrow's champions boxing. So to pitching new girl Thomas them balance Zuela and Russell. And then the high ball deep right field. Cowls back to the wall. Dodgers lead to another. So a couple of home runs. Garvey leading off the fourth with nobody on. Now Darrell Thomas leading off the fifth. Mario Socho. Now just three base hits. Two have been in these kind home run. Catcher Michael Barry knew it was gone. You can see his reaction. Collins back to the wall but it's well over the fence. Now it's Fernando Valenzuela who downed back to Socho in the second inning.

1:36:10You imagine an audience of almost 50 million people in Mexico. Listen to the Mexican. Spanish speaking broadcasters several million. In Southern California. Good swing by Valenzuela one strike. I think that story you told about him going to that clinic with some. Many motives said that they went to the Spanish speaking section of Los Angeles. For clinic Valenzuela came along with a police escort look like a presidential motor case way up high. One and one. They had police escorts people running alongside to protect Valenzuela from the thrums. They just want to touch him. They had helicopters hovering over his car for crowd control. He's become a national hero. One and one. No outs. Brown ball. Oster. Bench one down. Fernando Valenzuela. I think what he has done is shown away.

1:37:10Not to get biblical but a little child she'll lead us. He has just shown him the way that there is opportunity and you can do it and he's given hope. For Mendistory. Bill Russell. The double of the ground out. So no. The top of the fifth. Dodgers lead to nothing. It didn't be funny how with greatness goes humility. Nice your kid you wouldn't want to meet. One strike to Russell. Little loop or shark center field. Griffey raises now he comes in no chance to play on the Texas clear. So Russell's out with a second to feel who's for Griffey. Some people thought he should have had it but he had no chance on the ball. Tony the Red Sucks lead Milwaukee treating nothing at the end of three. Fort or nothing now. So total strength off the end of the bat while we have a chance as we look at this replay Griffey.

1:38:10Taking on the big bill as Casey's to say the big hop. We're going to remind you this telecast is presented by authority of Major League Baseball.

Got the express written consent of. Major League Baseball or Fernando Valenzuela is prohibited. Requits is in for moderna you can do it. What a. Can Landrow one strike. Bellows that's 100 behind home plate. Baltimore greed Detroit one in the four. The senses are home run planning against Rosenwald. Snap throw by Soto Russell back in time with one doubt. Bomb back for Toronto. Kio for Oakland. Everybody else the American League tonight and the Cubs and Montreal are tied to two bottom of the board. One ball one strike. That is Dutch renter. There's your score Dodgers to read nothing a Garvey home run.

1:39:10The Thomas home run. Allen's way has allowed just one hit to the Cincinnati ball cloud. Then feels single by George Foster. Dutch renter behind home plate. Had it off day on Thursday when home to see his family what do we do. Let's see a double header college baseball University of Wisconsin. Oshkosh. Russell's off and running fouled off by Landrow. He had a good job. One ball two strikes. One out. Landrow has grounded out twice. In this spring there was some doubt as Russell went back to first base about Russell's condition. He hurt that finger hit by a pitch ball last year on his throwing hand and had some surgery. He still looks off but he's able to throw. He isn't able to swing the bat that well. Then in a slump. One ball two strikes with one out. Half got a play five.

1:40:12Landrow starting his major league career with the Angels organization. Then the Minnesota twins. They grew up right in the shadows of Dodger Stadium. Landrow had the longest hitting streak in the Major league's last year with 31 consecutive gains with the twins. Bench. Bibles the ball steps in the bag out. Now they've got Russell hung up. There's no force. If Bench gets him. Yes he did. Double play. He's doing his whole life. Step down the bag. Now rid of the ball. So, Soto pitches out a banana for one rock. Going to the bottom of the fifth score. Two other dots over the red. New up, poster, home berry and Soto for Cincinnati. Outside the sea throws you an angry coming home body. But below. There's comfort. Introducing you Royal Comfort pipe tobacco.

1:41:15Now you can take comfort in knowing there's a good tasting aromatic pipe tobacco, especially blended to smoke cool. To always satisfy. Pipe after pipe after pipe. New Royal Comfort. If it's a cool smoke you seek, take comfort. Pieces clear solid lucite and tough, durable, made by DuPont to last. Wouldn't it be great if a paint gave you this? The blue side house paid dust. The same basic ingredient in solid lucite is a key ingredient in liquid lucite. So it's tough, durable, made to resist peeling and cracking, made to last. Lucite. A long lasting paint based on our solid idea from DuPont. Now save three to five dollars or more on lucite at participating stores. There's a hungry kind of feeling. And every day it grows. You know there's so much more to you than anybody knows. Specialist Kevin Crowley is working with tomorrow's technology in May Army's newest tank.

1:42:18The laser determines target range and feeds it to the computer. The laser determines target range and feeds it to the computer. It's just incredible. You need you in the Army. In the Army. In the Army. Don Sutton of the Astros said that the catcher Mike Sousa has had a lot to do with the success of Balanced Veyra. And we asked Sousa what he does when he goes to the mound to talk to Fernando Balanced Veyra. I go out to the mound and I say Fernando, food, beer and light beer. And he nods and says see. And I go back and call a pitch and we won another game. I don't know. You figured out. He's put the on folks because social speaks Spanish. And he can communicate with Fernando. Oster Obert. Soto schedule. Dodgers lead to nothing bottom of the film. I'll tell you what that school ball is on the minds of these hitters so much that when he does throw a fastball.

1:43:21He looks like he's thrown a hundred miles an hour and they can't get around on it. And the reason Joe, as you know better than I would have him going to catch a. That screw ball is a pit second embarrassment. He bounced the Virginia team and says always back you might make sure that the very general of the inside pass ball. Russell have a tough throw. He will not get it. He tried to plan a score in the artificial service of games that he couldn't get the hand on. He drew. Garvey off the bat. Score the base set. There's a replay. You see him kind of plant that foot. But once he did that, he lost the plane even the ball sailed. When the right foot slipped when he tried to plan it, he had a full side arm and he looked like he cut it in the ball, standing the way as you said. So now it's Mike O'Berry. The Oster first. Second base hit off balance. Well, both in the infield. One by Foster in the second. And this one by Oster. Bound off to put a bow. Barry one strike. I'm not going to describe him so many ways.

1:44:21But I think Dusty Baker had a real good one. He says I'm in the outfield, but I've seen the ball do things that mathematically it shouldn't. Whatever that means, it's just he is so deceiving. Mathematically here. Whatever he just does tricks with it. Oster's at first. Two strikes. The count now on Mike O'Berry. He's so done. Well, last year the rookie pitcher of the year was Steve Howell left hander for the Dodgers. Year before that Rick Sutford, a Dodger pitcher. The balance is where it keeps going. And half the same. He's got a chance. What does that ever happen? If it should happen. He keeps going. He's going to win everything. Most valuable players side young. Probably be on a $20,000 pyramid. Everything. One ball to strike. Mike O'Berry with a runner out first. He's got a scuba. Say, pass the ball. Goal. Cincinnati has runners on first and second. They trail by two.

1:45:23Soto scheduled. He will confer with Mac D'Amerri. He's going to put it into the general, I believe. I thought maybe he might believe so to end. The sacrifice. The runners are long. He's gone back to sit down. Here's the replay on it. And it's right between say and build Russell. It's a base hit. Joe Garzeola, Tony Kubak, riverfront stadium in Cincinnati. We're in the bottom of the fifth. The Dodgers lead to the nothing. Rottos to single Mike O'Berry single. Soto. They hit it with two men on. Balance the way. And through the ball. I'm not half to it. It's not a ball. The second base. Soto up there. He's going to try and punt. Say now what's to confer from his third base spot along with Soja behind the plate with balance the way. And a bunch of situations. But Mac D'Amerri calls Soto back.

1:46:23And I've got to believe. So does not that better than a hitter to say listen. If they're charging too hard. They'll put you on your own. We may have you try and we may have you try and slap it by someone. Yeah, but well, Mac, well, Mac D'Amerri is doing that. And what they're saying is fear light. Fear food. That's who's up all the strategy. The dongers made their two runs on home runs one by Garvey in the fourth and one by Darrell Thomas. Oh, it's turned my co-bury on base for the reds. No outs. So it's on the hitter. There are your runners. Cincinnati trails by two. They are charging at the corner. Russell's going to third. Right. Play was on. The runner Oster at second base had plenty of room to do what he wanted to because Darrell Thomas went to first. Russell went to third as Garvey and say charge. Now you've got to be alive if you're a base runner for the same

1:47:25kind of trick play Russell going to third. But Darrell Thomas sneaking behind for a pickoff. We've seen these trick plays. Backfire time and time again. Some teams have as many as a half a dozen in this kind of situation. Yeah, they finish in a second division. One strike. Fowled off by So tell. No balls two strikes. He broke off the mound in good shape that time. Alan Duela was going towards third which is the way you make the play. Here's the real way watching as soon as he delivers it and he hits the third base. There he goes. He has a feel for this game. Paul didn't think if you want that is difficult to teach. Oh and two to So tell. One again. He gets it down. It is a beauty. The winner will have to hurry. Nobody at first. And then the right field corner. Nobody there. We're not at down one run. So Jackson. So tell will come on the line.

1:48:25Hard. That's three Dodgers. So I'm going to the crowd. Here's the replay. So no making a perfect spot. They hung the kid up. They hung the ball up with a trick play. So he's going to have to go back. That back fired with nobody covering first base. Dusty Baker from right field trying to hustle it and cut this off. But they hung the kid up. Guerrero from right field. Check that. Once he gets to Paul he has to fire it. And he was sure Garvey would be there. And you can see that he realizes only after he threw it.

1:49:26What he had done. Wow. Well he's got one thing to do is he said he'll come up throwing. And with Thomas throwing the second base it's going to be probably a sacrifice. No time at that for a show. And air on the picture balance. Well. But the trick play backfires on the Dodgers. One ball one strike now on Collins. What a way to take the lead for Cincinnati. Three to two. You talk about wholesaling some runs. Hey really wholesalos jobies. But they count just as big as the other two on home runs. Took advantage of a weakness. The kid was hung up. He fired it to first base. Nobody was there and that was it. Took the base to the right. Fills the colleges. And he is a face stealing threat.

1:50:29Three base sets of the inning. A balance well. You're going to get a pretty good idea of what Tixen's side is. Young she right now because the three runs and scored directly attributable to him. Because he threw the ball in the right field and you can say what you want but it's E1. Flip it out the left side maybe up to the bottom. How is it hurt? Collins and Wailer has been behind the ball game just once this season. That's before this situation.

1:51:29One strike says Dutch renter. Nobody out. In the bottom of the fifth. Reds have scored three. Collins being held by Garvey. One year old kid Fernando Valenzuela. Right to the grippy. Now they have given a hit to Soto and an air. No sacrifice. No our beyes of course. Garus there's three runs home. No balls two strikes go out. Collins Wailer hits in the grippy. Griffey is struck out and walked.

1:52:32One and two. Dave Collins. That's single the right. Now has been on base. 37 of 38 gave him play this season. He scored in 22 though. Collins is off. High pass ball here at the show. Now it's a throw down by Soto. Collins is in another stolen base. Now they're all Thomas back in the playoff. Social is we feel it. That was good. Our job is not so well twice today. There's an intimidation factor here. He had a pretty good ball in the handle. Ball was up. Can't say he got within the ball any too quickly. And just good right into the ground.

1:53:34Collins was up and ready to go. But Darrell Thomas prevents it by back in the playoff. Collins now. He left stolen bases in 17 attempts this season. Drippy with no out to like to pull the ball to the right side. Pops it up. Maybe play a ball. Sands over Valley this side of his drifting. Go into the dodgy dugout from the side of play. We started there to help out. Drippy will get another shot. We're talking to Johnny Bench before the ballgame. We're trying to recollect. Last time we're looking picture there is the sort of. Come through it all. But he's trying to recollect. Remember when a young picture had this kind of success early. Even its the name right here since that he weighed Simpson. Young right hand who was 13 and 1 at the all-star break point here. And then hurt his arm. Two balls two strikes. Stuball pulled the tile.

1:54:34Which is about all the left hand he could do with it breaking in on his fist. How is it second nobody out. Let's lead three to two in the bottom of the six. It is a hot day. I'm sure balance well on this country. Mexico has seen the days as hot as recent hotter. Two and two. Galbaugh. Drippy does an excellent job getting the runner call. Third Garby will take it out of the system. Now with one out. Except she only leads the league in our behind. We've got to believe now that Dodgers will have to bring the ring to the lead. At least halfway. Russ Nixon the third base coach. Except she only. Looking for the ball.

1:55:34And you've always got the possibility of the suicide squeeze or safety squeeze. But you know the three hitter up. Maybe he's going to swing the back. He'd get my best break in screwball on a very first pitch right here. Collins the third base. He's got to keep the ball down. He's got to keep it away from him. Davies a first ball fastball hitter. Popped up to the right side. Darryl Thomas for the glasses down. Motion's get her off. He's got it out of the tube. Is that a fastball up and in? He jammed them. He didn't get around on it. Here's the motion that he throws at you. And I tell you he hides the ball well. He saw it all the way. You may not see it when it starts out but he follows it off that bad. We've seen that reaction a couple times. George Foster infield single in the second fly ball.

1:56:36Just got under it in the court to let feel. Two outs. Of a reindeer laying Boston. No walkie rather. I was a fastball ball one. Collins the third. Red socks are winning in that game six and nothing. Schmitt a home run. Screwball off the end of the bat by Foster. You can see that confidence that Nalins Leila has in the screwball. One ball no straight. He went to it to the cleanup center Foster. Watch the rotation on his ball. Here's that last pitch. See the seam spinning away from it. One ball one strike.

1:57:37Two outs. Foster fastball. He made up for it. Here comes Guerrero. Nice running pass. He sends a run. He got an excellent job. He was playing Foster deep. But the reds come up with three runs. Two base three base hits. Hostly air after five, three to two sets of that he threw up. Dusty Baker, Steve Garvey and Ron Save for the Dodgers. One two three four five. Troublespots like these are what separate Gillette Atro from all ordinary raises. The reason? The Atro pivot. It keeps the blades at a perfect shaving angle, giving you better shades than any razor that can't pivot. One two three four. three, four, five. I have a few more reasons do you need to let Atrop the pivot makes it better. Gillette, when it comes to shading, we give you the edge. Bright guard knows a man needs all the protection he can get.

1:58:38That's why a man needs Bright Guard. Bright Guard has a male effectiveness formula so strong, no matter which Bright Guard you choose. It helps stop a man's first paracenota all day long. A man works hard. But Bright Guard works hard. Now there's new hardworking Bright Guard solid too. Wherever you live, whatever you need to trim, home light string trimmers give you that finishing touch. Because after home light gives you quality, home light gives you a choice with lightweight electrics and powerful gasoline trimmers, all with automatic string advanced. We've got trimmers that turn into blowers and trimmers that become brush cutters. There's even a trimmer you can operate with one hand. So whatever you need to trim, wherever you need to trim it, get a home light string trimmer for the finishing touch. Find on the sixth Mario Soto now with a three to two lead.

1:59:39Over to Dodgers and Valenzuela, face baker, Garvey and Sey. Tony, while we got a chance of Soto taking a little bit of time there, we talked about manager Tom LaSorta and to John McNamara. There's John McNamara son, graduated from University of San Diego tomorrow. His daughter Susan graduates on Wednesday. She wishes congratulations, long distance. LaSorta is worried about his mother-in-law, Sue Miller. Thinking about here is wife Joe down in Greenville, the Greenville Memorial. So it's a big game, but there's still plenty of humans. Baker tries to catch night back, and he missed the bottom one string. Well, here's the situation since the Maddie Reds three Dodgers two. Dusty Baker, Steve Garvey, Ron Sey. The top of the six, you score Reds three Dodgers two, two home runs by the Dodgers, Garvey and Thomas.

2:00:42The dirt two balls one strike to Baker. The runs on balanceuela in the fifth. Oster didn't feel single, Oberry with a single left and Soto on two strikes. But it tried to sacrifice balanceuela, and was Garvey on deck. Two to ball the first to get the runner, but nobody was covering on a trick play that backfired. So Tom came all the way home from home play, two runners ahead of him. Right, couple of hot slow draw, Beds with a great strike. Right in the line in the run. Johnny Beds with exceptional play. Nice play by Johnny Bansch. Here's that play Tony was talking about. Now watch the front by Soto. Balanceuela breaks over there, and it's such a good fun. He has to come up throwing, but the trick play really put him in a jackpot. Nobody is there, and Darryl Thomas actually had to run the ball down. Here's the play that Braynite just made on Baker, but Bedsch gets the star on that play.

2:01:42Look at him stretch. That takes a lot of guts to go over the line. The guy bearing down on you like that. Now it's Garvey with a walk to the first. A home run of the fourth. One ball. Mario Soto puts you to Garvey. Bedsch is playing first place because of the hand injury to Dreson, but Dreson goes kind of plays. That's tough to get back. Just out of the reach of Conceptio, Foster, on the start of the conservative run to Darryl. Garvey will try for two. Garvey hit a really good pitch. He went down, but looked like a slider lowed away. So he's out with a double. There it is. There's a case of a good hitter hitting a good pitch. Too many times I know when I listen to games, they say I hang in curveball. That was a good pitch. That's it. Red three, Dodgers two, top of the sixth.

2:02:43Ron Seina was over two in the ball game. Popped out, grounded out. Garvey's had a nice day of walk to home run and a double. He made that double from the home play, Joe. He never stopped running. Saw the ball to the glove side of Foster, and it was Bob, and he kept on running. And they give it an air. No, they can't give it an air on that one. Say over his last eight seasons, averaging 89 RBI. 199 from the home run. Most by Los Angeles, Dr. Seina. He has a big cut of a solo pass ball one strike. Ron Seina looks to me like he just has complete control of that strike song. Now he said he got in the pitchers, gotten a pattern of keeping the ball away because he tried to pull everything. I wouldn't get in the ball inside the home run. But now that I'm going to the opposite way, hit a ball, occasionally in a right field, they're starting to chase their pattern.

2:03:44Come inside. He expects more home runs because they're going to be making the pitchers. It's one of the pitching patterns. No balls to strike. Say. He has been a steady little performer with a bat for this ball club. There was a notice many times. He made driving to find your last year at Garvey. The first one was a short, just mess. They thought they had the pitch, but it was a one ball two strike. Say very disciplined. He has a very small strike zone. Poor to one, fires hate that as we look at Steve Garvey and second base when the pitcher stares and walks around the mound and the catcher holds the ball for you. One ball two strikes one out. Rets three, Dodgers two. Each team has five base sets. Slider hit deep to left center field. We're going to be back to the wall. The Dodgers take the lead. Two run home run.

2:04:44Third home run of the ball game. This time Rod say with Garvey ahead of them. Number 200 for Say as he steps on the plate. They're home run. One ball and two strikes and here's the pitch again. It looked like it was down maybe even away. That was on the bad part of the bat and he got it. He really accidentally armed. Gryppie goes as far as he can go and then just watches. Part of three that Dodgers lead over the red. Ball won the Guerrero. Dodgers still busy giving high fives over there. Look at him. Ready Smith. I believe the pitcher. Valenzuela. Bert Hootin very quietly is going six at all. All the publicity this year. Nuss Far has been for Valenzuela.

2:05:44Dodgers the best record in baseball. One and one. Pedro Guerrero. Papa. Look at his forearm, Dodgers. Night two hopper to his left. Bench out number two. Joe, we've mentioned Kyle Hubble. And brings mine talking about Valenzuela again. A lot of people have said that these two young people are going to hurt his elbow. And I think what you said of the Hubble said before that with a nice, easy, most in delivery, he is so fluid. Chances are he will not hurt his arm. But there have been some pictures in the school. The pitch went up in her 30s and early 40s. We had a great one in St. Louis, Harry Brachine. Good school ball. So she's gone to the second twice. One ball. Valenzuela out. Mike Marshall threw school ball in his late 30s. More in spawn.

2:06:44School ball in his 41 or 42. Johnny Sain threw it. Late 30s. McGraw still throwing it. So about here. One ball one strike with two outs. Dodgers four reds three. Mike Sosia. Paul out of play. I guess the feet that stands out and baseball and storage mind most regarding the school ball pitches the time Hubble struck out. There's Ron Pernowski, the new pitching coach. Happy. Freess. Talking to him. They set right field by social. Did all star game on Hubble struck out all of his American lakers. We do Gary Fox. Cronin and. Simmons. Simmons. Al Shamancki. No walking. You bet.

2:07:51That's a good line up. Just right. Got. Happy to kind of five guys coming up there in six. Did we should get a long distance call in the middle of them. Darryl Thomas. With a home run of the walk in this ballgame. Facing Soto with two outs and so should first. Ben's playing behind the runner. Very ball club. Not every ball club. But should have a guy like Thomas. I think last year John walked into the Kansas City Royals. He was a designated hitter and right theater and left theater and catcher. First baseman a pinch runner. Thomas is that kind of player. He's always ready when you need him. He does whatever you want. He does it well. Dutch renter. One ball one strike. Ben's playing behind social first with two outs. Now just four. That's three. Bob.

2:08:51That's behind Soto got a single thrust. First baseman the step he got to throw unless you step off of the first. Second base he don't have to nor third. Phil Fisher is going to come out and talk to him because if there's anything that upsets a there's the box. Of course he's got to throw it. The only upsets of picture is when they screw up like that because that's page two of the pictures. How to pitch book. He's always make sure where your players are. All he had to do was look and see fence behind him. And he might recall. I don't know if he showed the shot on the air but. We saw from a pier of course before these two pitches were thrown. The Thomas bench yelled out to him and held his hand up and said hey I'm playing behind but after two pitches Soto forgot. Paul Muscobe begins to loosen up now. Second ball to the season for Soto. Muscobe coming off that shoulder surgery. Helped to shot last year the World Series telecast with Tom Seaver. Very extensive charts for it.

2:09:55Two and one the Thomas. So should second after the ball. Two and one that made the change up. And she has so much confidence in it has balance well. I have doesn't a school ball count goes two balls two strikes two outs. Well sat in the starting four Cincinnati Reds three were in the top of the sixth. Follow up. Dodgers took the two nothing lead. Home run in the fourth by Garvey leading it off. Home run in the fifth by Thomas leading it off. And in the fifth Oster single Obergis single.

2:10:55A cooked up fun play where the ball was thrown by Valenzuela in the right through with nobody covering first base in Soto. He's all the way home with two runners ahead of him. Followed off again. This city. The ground out by Baker double by Garvey say with a home run to get the lead of the Dodgers once again four to three. That's how it stands right now. Two balls two strikes two outs. I'm just the interface of Soto. Badge. Nice play back in the down and take the run. Took the Soto. He got it. Badge said the run and made an acrobatic throw an acrobatic catch by Soto. It was so surrounding her face. So Johnny Ben took the play made last week backhanding here to his job. He backhand and then off his glove but instinctively he's still trying to make the play in Soto.

2:11:57A real acrobatic on his play. Look at that. Nice play. Dodgers did come up with two runs a home run by Ron say third for the Dodgers. Go to the bottom six for the score Dodgers for reds three.

2:13:59Billy Ball will debut. A national network TV. Open A's. Go to Toronto. Think on the Blue Jays then. Cincinnati Reds. Against the rivals of St. T. Missy the day the Los Angeles Dodgers. Baseballs out of steam at this point next week. On our Game of the Week at Double Header starting at 1 p.m. Eastern time right here on NBC Sports. Valenzuela. The face bench night and Oster in the bottom of the sixth. Unofficially Fernando has thrown 73 pitches. 35 smoothball. That's about half. One strike to bench. The fifth. There were four consecutive hits on Valenzuela. All singles. Strike to the bench. First time in history. He's given up for it's an arrow. Step and hit given the Soto is debatable in my mind. Nobody was covered in first place. Two strikes on bench. Valenzuela way ahead.

2:14:59He drilled. The screw ball. Good piece of hitting by bats. Nice play by Guerrero holding him through a single. He was looking screw ball. He was a two strike or at least looking to go the opposite way. So. Betches on leading off the sixth for Cincinnati. Betches had two walks and now a single a right. Right around 300. Since he's been playing first base. Now it's night with a strike counter double play. Follow up. Johnny Bench breaking on that play and he had himself a pretty good jump. Had the night not fall at pitch off. I thought a sociable been able to get him. You know he just take Johnny Bench for granted over there in Garvey's. That's up into Valenzuela.

2:16:00Now Bench had 13 stolen bases out in back in 76. But the element of surprise right there he. Helped that Valenzuela was not watching him closely. One strike on night. Dodgers for reds three. Two strikes. Pass bomb. Castile. The man who talked Fernando Valenzuela the screw ball. Very forced to also down the left hander. Garvey steps on the bag. Does not flip. He's got Bench hung up. Now Russell's got the ball. Well, he can't get out of the scoff. Look at Valenzuela. Backing up the play. And he's lucky. He's lucky to hold on to that ball because right in the weapon. Russell had a little problem getting it out of his weapon. And it looked like Bench was going to beat the play.

2:17:01He alertly stopped when he saw Garvey step on a watch it now. Now here's where Russell has a little problem getting it out. Right there. He throws it by Thomas and there's Valenzuela. Nice play by the youngsters. To tell you Thomas gets the ball. Bench is by him. There's no chance for playing. Valenzuela very alertly coming over to back to play. He looks like he's played this game for 20-30 years. Two outs. Live all by poster right center failed. Guerrero is having trouble. He makes a certain sketch out of what he should have been routine. And off the sun by the number of the wind currents. But anyway, Valenzuela pitches out of it. So after six here in Cincinnati, the score dodges four reds three. Valenzuela, Russell Landrow, we'll be right back. And for these messages, we'll be on the station. Its Bob Hoves birthday and Mariausman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Brooke Shields, Mickey Rooney, Glenn Campbell, Mary Martin, Jorzie Scott, and 42nd Street Join the Celebration Bunda.

2:19:04Running out of patience, a special report Monday at 10 on Channel 5. Joe Garajolo with Tony Kupag here in Cincinnati, where the Los Angeles Dodgers lead the Reds by the score of 4-3. In other baseball, Toronto at Oakland, bomb back against Kio, the schedule pitcher. Boston's six Milwaukee nothing. They've got a rain delay over there. Bottom of the six Torres against Lurch, middle home run. And Baltimore five Detroit one at the end of six. Steward against Bailey Boat and Relief. Texas at Seattle, Chicago at California, Minnesota, Kansas City. Cleveland the Yankees tonight. Cubs in Montreal are tied to to the end of six bursts against Russia. Everybody else tonight. Valenzuela takes it high. It's ball one. Fernando Valenzuela. Dutch runner booms it out one ball and one strike.

2:20:07You'll soon be seeing a poster of Valenzuela much in the paraphrase. Mold. Didn't take long. Didn't get it. One ball and two strikes. The Dodger defense turned over three double plays so far. Soato is trailing by one. Dodgers four Cincinnati three. Next week same two teams from Los Angeles. Johnny French big hop. I might add Tony if there is baseball next Saturday. What do you think? The possibility of a strike. It just didn't happen on midnight of 28. I'm not the Mr. McKinley. I don't care what Mr. Greene and Mr. Miller are saying. I think they're talking too much to lose for both sides.

2:21:09The issue in my mind is not not big enough. It's a matter of each side letting the other side have saved a little face and they can work it out. Guaranteep Mr. Steinbrenner or and or Mr. Edward Bennett Williams run the bargaining table would be settled now in a half hours time. They have it over with. There you are. Two strikes. You asked Mr. Kuhlback a question. You got an answer. Well do you think there's going to be a strike? No I did. I I keep hearing his pessimistic stuff but I don't know. There is John McNamara. But Harry Dunlop, one of his coaches. Harry was on that great 1952 Pittsburgh pirate team that lost 112 games. Russell Foulsettback. Russell doubled in the first inning. Bounced out third to first in the third. He's single the center in the fifth. He's two for three.

2:22:09Good fastball. That's the second strikeout for our Soto second out the inning. And don't forget our seventh inning stretch coming up for our feature. Robin Roberts today. Russell's having such a difficult time keeping his right hand on the bat. We told you about that surgery on his finger. He's usually pretty good contact. But that hand flies off. I don't think he's got really good control yet. I'm feeling that right hand of that sore finger. He's a pretty good pitch by Soto. He really got him up and in though. Landro took money at time which seemed to be upsetting to Soto. Landro bounced out second to first in the first inning. Bounced out to the first baseman. I'm assisted in the third. Hit the double play in the fifth. All on. Landro maybe has been trying to give Fernando Valenzuela a little bit more. A breather on the bench. Two balls in no strikes.

2:23:10We understand there are some audio problems so there's nothing wrong with your set. So just leave it where it is. Follow the picture. Three and all. Dusty Baker, Dr. Skull, beyond deck batter. Dodgers four, Cincinnati three, top of the seventh. There is the strike. Dr. Ritter has got a chance. I don't play to lose a few pounds today. It's up to you on having played perfectly. In time, three up, three down. So we going to the bottom half of the seventh inning to score.

2:24:10The Dodgers four, since in any three. Now here's another installment of the seventh inning stretch. One of the great pitchers. Old Spice presents. The seventh inning stretch brought to you by always spice after shave and cologne. The fresh clean masculine sense women low. Robin Roberts had such an easy motion that his smoking fastball was a constant surprise. In the early fives, the Dodgers were the most powerful. The fastball was a constant surprise. In the early fifties, Robin accomplished six consecutive twenty victory seasons for the Philadelphia Phillies. He led the National League five times in innings pitched and complete games, twice in strikeouts and shutouts. Because he had such supreme control of his pitches, batters never worried about being knocked down. And they always dug in on Robin. His career total of 502 homers allowed his Robin's only major league record.

2:25:12Robin powered the Phillies to an improbable pennant in 1950. But most of his 19 years were spent with losing ball clubs. And whenever a ballgame came down to one pitch, nobody was ever tougher than Robin Roberts. A little old spice has a lot of rewards. Old spice is the clean, fresh, masculine sense so many women love. So even if you love only one woman, your love old spice, the man sense so many women love. Dodgers for Cincinnati three bottom of the seventh. Bob Trumpi, one of our football announcers here watching this great game of baseball. You mean the controversial Bob Trumpi with that talk show?

2:26:12Oh, lovable, lovable, lovable Bob. Bob Trumpi has a good housekeeping seal right on his nose. One strike to count on O'Berry. Got a pinch hitter coming out in the on deck circle. Two strikes. Robin trying to think of the number of balls there is Sam Mahias on deck. And have not been that many balls had hired off. That one's way a bench drill one to right feel. Hard ground ball through the left side aside from that. Not a whole lot. And air hurting. One ball two strikes is one of those trick play job. I you pet peeve. I'll get the ball game. Guard in the line. Hey, I'm garbage. One foot all but on the line. Last ball misses. Garvey at first and say it third. Really guard the line.

2:27:12I know what the manager say. They say I don't want the ball between my third baseman and the bag. We saw yesterday ball hit and say his left it went for double. And this artificial surface there's say. There's garbage. But guy can't play off two steps and cover that. Something's wrong. O'Berry is not going to pull the ball a whole lot. I'll back. O'Berry in the first and he bounced out of the second baseman. Then in the fifth and he's single the left between Russell and say. Bernardo. What O'Berry's looking at. Watch those eyes. They knocked me out. Look at that. Look at straight up. Now he picks up the batter. Wafting. Kind run is on. That is the fifth walk given up by balance. We're coming into today's game.

2:28:14We had only average 2.2. Now he is. We've been a hot pincher for McNamara. Now batting for Soak. That's left handers. This year. But this has been 5 for 8. 333 average. Misses it trying to. Strike one. I'll tell you if he gets the ball down in a third. Garvey and Fernando. Good. The ball is really pretty good. Feeler. With O'Berry running at first base they have a pretty good shot. And that wouldn't surprise me if they did for the switch on. Not a swing. And you got a buddy. Right back to the picture. Balance away that goes the second.

2:29:18I want to tell you one thing about Bellsville. He came up drawing. O'Berry had to have a ball. Allberry had to have a pretty good jump off the bag. A couple of high hops. He's going for the lead runner all the way. Russell taking the throw. Russell's off the bag. He pulled him off the bag just a little bit. Another tough call. It's about three that Randy Mars. And the second big big baseball game has had down in second. Those social trying to settle him down now. Valance Weller you could see he had it in mind all the way he was going to go to second base and get that lead man. Lays like that Mr. Rick used to call errors of enthusiasm. You sort of as go Joe Ferguson to left to right on the Dodger bench. Nixon with a puck with Colin. And he's the right side off Valgletta. They're looking for a buck once again. Forced on your right to steal on your left. Score rules out a sacrifice for my his.

2:30:22Nobody out Dave Collins who is one for three. Line to first hit to a fourth play and single. Garvey is starting to charge hard. Strike one. No trick plays that time. Joe Russell was only as persistent short. Tobus was going to first. Well, Barry's it's second. My he is is it first. I walked to well Barry as sacrificed by my he is. And so four to three ball game. The Dodgers out in front. We're in the bottom of the seventh. There's a trick play. And nothing happened. Fall one one ball one strike. Russell breaks for third. The thing about this play. Joe you leave second base and occupied. That's a play that I think boy or people are books Robinson made so well.

2:31:23They would get the lead runner at second. You still have a double play first and third. One ball and one strike. Dave Collins. Well, Barry's it's second. My he is is at first. Nobody out. Two balls in one strike. Here at Riverfront in Cincinnati. Valenzuela in trouble. He's got a one run lead. But the reds of threatening. There you see all Barry. It's second. But he is the pinch hitter at first. Two balls in one strike. The count on Dave Collins. A tough man to double up. Dodgers three home runs one by Garvey. One by Thomas and a two run homer by Ron. Say. On it down a third base line. Says only played a first base in time. Beautiful. But.

2:32:26There's been no official time at bat charging this city so far and grippies up. They're now with a chance to give the Cincinnati reds a lead. O'Barry's walk. My he is the sacrifice and now a sacrifice by Collins. An oddity that you just said no official bat. A sacrifice by right here. The time to tie it up and there was still not the official time at bat. In Griffey he struck out in the first and in he walked in the third and he bounced out of the first base but unassisted in the fifth Dodger in field aside from say a third they're playing back. At this point anyway there's some teams will have their men creep in. I'm on the field with a ball loose from the Dodger bullpen. He's going to be deep enough. Guerrero. Here comes the runner heading for third as my he is. He'll make it.

2:33:40The game has been somewhat of a struggle for balance well today has controlled it off. Live all right field sacrifice flies going to tie and run. Balance well knows right what to do. It's midway between home and third. Back up to play the ball caught off and Guerrero bought Russell the shortstop. And we still don't have a time at bat. Dave conception on with my he is the third in the score tied at four a piece. Out of place right one. Next in the third base coach and the he has found a third in the first half.

2:34:41He's got the infield back. You wouldn't expect it. On trying beat it out for base set. Two outs and trying to score the run. There is the defense of alignment. Good job today by producer Harry. Director Harry Carl producer George Spinkle. And on you can't even love the shot when they get those eyes. And that's screw ball tournament. Registration. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it.

Sam Mahir, who came on as a pinch hit, remains in the game. He's batting in the ninth slot and the new pitcher is Tom Hume, Hillbatten Collins is bought to lead off spot. First pitch is popped up. Ben says I'll take it and Bakers an easy out. One out and it brings up Steve Garvey.

2:37:48Tom Hume, two ends, two losses. RECZ R.A. 2.74, 19 ball game all in relief. He's finished 16 ball games for this club. Five saves. I guess he'd say the power put you in. He's a slider hard fastball. Doesn't change speed much. One strike. He's almost would be willing to bet that Garvey would take that pitch after Baker hit the first one. Hume took advantage of it. Strike two. Steve's at a nice day. Garvey walked in the first. He had a home run in the fourth. Double and scored in the sixth. He's in the league with 200 face hits last season. Second time they left a national league in hits. 1975 he did it with Pete Rose.

2:38:52One ball and two strikes. Montreal three. Cubs two. They're in the seventh inning. Everybody else tonight. In the national league. Broken bat face hit. The bat went all the way up. The shortstop is the ball went out the left field. He's got a strong strength. Power that ball through a high inside pitch. It's jammed. He just tries to fight it off. Get piece of it. Got the hand. He's going to get that award. They give it. Sporty news award. It's like you hit it with the sporting news to that side. A wet one. That bat really went a long way. But then you look at those four arms at Garvey. He's got a shot at the P4 day. Garvey. He's got a perfect day. Here's Ron say to two run homers last time. Poppy pops this one up. Ray Knight a third base says he'll take it. And he does. So there are two away. The attendance here today.

Two outs and here is Guerrero. Guerrero fly to right in a second. They get into fourth and bounced out in the sixth. We're all tied. Four four. Right back to Hume. Should be easy. It is. So we go into the bottom half the eighth inning. God for four Cincinnati four. And for the Cincinnati Reds in the bottom of the eighth. It'll be George Foster, Johnny Fent and Ray Knight. Fact.

Aaronica, balance will get the opening day assignment. Jerry Royce from schedule. He heard his leg. Balance of Wailah was thrown in. Now eight wins one loss. One ball and one strike. George Foster. Foster had a base hit in the second and he applied to left and applied to right. He's one for great. George Foster did a little bit of a dance trying to get a fat one as balance of Wailah let up.

2:44:03Two slow changeups in a row from balance Wailah. The George Foster. What's the arms speed? That motion. It was taught him by Castillo. It uses a changeup. He couldn't pick up a changeup any other way. It never thought it would be this good this quick. And then Paranasca got a hold of it. It was something like six and nine last year. Six wins and nine losses. Down in San Antonio. There's the season of 13 to 90. And then he's eliminated the league. Then was called up for Dodgers late. Right at Garvey. George Foster lines hard to Garvey. So there's one out. Johnny Bet you put on quite an exhibition. Joe tomorrow has lost a match in ten years. Tony Ayala. The teenager from San Antonio. The ten years was present for the championship. Tomorrow on tomorrow's champion. My satellite from San Raleigh, Italy also on the card. Little weight Alex Ramos puts his record on the line.

2:45:03He's undefeated all the mile three. Eastern time. And tomorrow's champion right here on NBC. That'll be followed by Sports World. We'll keep you to the end. Strike one. Johnny Bet you the last time took two screw balls for a quick two strike count. And then line hard to right field. Jump on the first pitch here but doesn't get it. So I've heard a player is around the league and other people say well we'll see how good he is. The second time around balance well. But I think he's found to be good because as we said before he's not just one pitch pitcher. Here's the only screw ball he changes feet well as excellent control. Mustard with a fastball slow curve. Slider. Ron say can't make the play Johnny Bet just heading for second. Let's see how they rule it. Well that's a ball that was catchable.

2:46:04I don't know what they're going to give him but say as we mentioned earlier late the ball game. Tie game right on the line. Hit the dirt band full of them. The ball's got to be caught or at least knocked out. He was protecting the line as almost all managers have it. He had the shot of the ball back up while at the dirt school under his arm. Johnny Bet just on face for the fourth time two walks in two hits and they're going to put a rain night on and set up a double play. Oh your mind is out of here. Not my mind. No idea. Not an especially the eighth inning in the tie ball game. You got to knock the ball down. The third base that do a die position. Now with this intentional walk but they're probably setting up. That was one out of us. That's not going to find that was just been pretty out with the bat. That's a six walk. Give a not five balance away as we look at Tom Loisorta.

2:47:04Ulster struck out in a second. He's single and scored in the fifth and fly to right in the sixth. One man out we're all tied bottom of the eight. The rail on right field had called for Ross and bag. Does flip it back out. He's playing very shallow. He was very shallow when Ulster hit the ball in the sixth and almost didn't get to it. There you see the shot. There'll be tough for Bench the score on a hard hit ball the right field. That's high ball one. They talk about balance well and say that when he has to make a certain pitch he always makes it. He's made the pitch to get a double play. Got to make a pitch again. Way out in front one ball and one strike. Bench is on it second base.

2:48:05High score bottom of the eighth. Rain night is on it first. One man out. Night should have a good jump at first in the ground ball. They'll upset somebody at second on the pivot. Little looper. Nobody nobody will get it. Johnny Bench will be held up. Face is loaded. Johnny Bench was a no man's land ball has hit off the handle. Darryl Thomas almost came up with pretty good play right there. Bench said it's in and then he may have been held up by Nixon as he started home. It's prevented from scoring. Nixon playing it safe especially after last night almost behind play by Darryl Thomas. I didn't think he had a chance. I didn't either. In order to say nobody will get this one. He did get a glove on it. We're going to have a pinch hitter now. Mike Bayless come out of the Cincinnati duck out.

2:49:07One man out. He's loaded. A double by Bench. I walked a nine intentionally. And Oster and then feel hit. Joe Garajolo with Tony Kuh back here at Riverfront where the Cincinnati Reds have just loaded the bases. One man out. Bench a double down a left field line. Night intentionally walked. Oster and then feel hit. Mike Bayless pinch hitter for O'Barry. Go on. Bench a third. One out. Not in time.

2:50:07Oster and first. Mike Bayless pinch hitter. One out. Not in time. He could have gone home and gotten the force out. He made a thought he was close to the third base. Bayless with a good jump out of the box. He's out to run. It was a judgment play. A tough play for third baseman. It was not right. The stripping is that follows hit. I don't think he feel a bail. Nor did I would ever beat that out. I didn't think so either. He must have had a good jump out of the box. The key in that play. I think he's going to be a good guy. The key in that play. I think he's going to be what he said.

2:51:07Say it was not as close to the back as he thought he was. Strike one on my ears. Who came on as a pinch hitter for Soto into seventh inning. Sam my hands. Five to four Cincinnati leading. Two strikes to count now on Sam my hands. Two men out one run in. In the ninth inning for the Dodgers. Socia Thomas and a pinch hitter. Valenzuela trailing by a run. In the hole Russell a nice play. Got him. Outpops back the matter to argue the call at second base failed.

2:52:08Continuous to argue. The other by Randy Mars. Find play by Russell. Good play by Darryl Thomas to keep his foot on the bag and get the throw. We're going to give you a replay. First and second two outs Russell with a backhand. All found snap throw. Watch Darryl Thomas. You bet he's out. He got him. He could play at Randy Mars the second base up by the next loop call. So at the end of eighth inning. Cincinnati five Dodgers four. Socia Thomas and a pinch hitter. Introducing the cutter. Black and deckers most powerful spring trimmer yet. The cutter. Power through grass. Power through weeds. And with the cutter's command feed just the touchable button keeps the string at its most powerful cutting length. The cutter with command feed from black and decker.

2:53:09It can cut the time of trimming your yard. Unleash the spirit. Unleash the spirit. Blue strutts. Blue strutts. The spirited new men's colon and after shave as brisk and bold as the open sky. Blue strutts. Blue strutts for the free spirit in men. Unleash the spirit. Unleash the spirit in the blue strutts. Here comes Johnny Rutherford. Three time Indy 500 winner to protect that engine at blazing speed he runs with pens oil. Johnny's wife Betty. She uses pens oil too. But she uses pens oil's regular priced gas saving multi-weight oil. Pens oil for cars like Johnny's and Betty's and yours.

2:54:10Gas saving pens oil. Quality in every extra mile. The ring side with tomorrow's champions as 18 year old knockout artist Tony Ayala takes on veteran campaigner Pat Halle C plus Boston's Danny Long battles the undefeated Alex Ramos tomorrow. The new catcher is Joe Nolan and we've got a pinch hitter from Mike Socia. Jay Johnstone is come on the pinch hit. You're against Johnstone. All one. All two two balls in no strikes. Cincinnati five Dodgers four. All three. Three balls in no strikes. Tom Hume. Made a fairly easy eighth inning. Johnny Bench is coming in to say something now.

2:55:12Boy I've heard that speak so many times. Look Tom you got a one run lead. We can't make a play if you're going to walk everybody. Full strike. Make them hit the ball. Very basic. Very forthright. There's the strike. And of course the pitcher always says to you what do you think I'm trying to do. That's Paul Moscow and he's since an adi bullpen. Deep to right field way back way back home run. We're all tied up. Jay Johnstone with the fourth Dodger home run of the afternoon. Garvey in the fourth. Thomas in the fifth to run home by saying the sixth.

2:56:12And now Jay Johnstone here tonight that it's five five. And we've got another pinch hitter. Rick Monday is the pinch hitter for Darrell Thomas in a brand new ballgame. Right. Right. Come on. Jay Johnstone. A pinch hit home run to tie it up. I'm a sort of going to his bench. Rick Monday for Darrell Thomas. Outside the on deck circle. A familiar face. Another pinch hitter Reggie Smith.

2:57:20One ball and two strikes the count. Nobody out. We're in the ninth inning. All tied at five a piece. There's a live one ball two strikes. Dodgers five runs nine hits and two errors. Reds five runs eight hits and no errors. It's been a real Halloween ballgame for Valenzuela. Take the way through the ball in the right field three runs score. Low. Two balls and two strikes. And then the eighth inning when Cincinnati went ahead. And feel hit. Ball maybe should have been caught one for double. Monday is that on strike. So he'll get first out in the ninth inning.

2:58:23And Reggie Smith is a batter. And I cut the fast balls, say it outside. Monday didn't get it. So Reggie Smith the pinch hitter for Valenzuela. The eight hits and the six walks and the most that he's given up in any game this year. Smith going for the long one doesn't get it. Reggie second on the all time list of home runs for switch hitters with 295. Now ball, mantle of course with 536 number one. And then ball foul once again.

2:59:24Two strikes account. Nolan wants to have a little word with his pitcher Tom Hume. Pitch might have been a bit too good with a two strike count. And then he's going to go for the ball. That's what he's going to do with that. And then he's going to get the ball. Two strikes account. Nolan wants to have a little word with his pitcher Tom Hume. Pitch might have been a bit too good with a two strike count. Smith out on strikes. Two strikeouts for Hume. Two outs here in the ninth inning. the ball may have been on the outside part of the plate. Maybe even out of the strike zone. He's setting up outside. Chase the bad ball. Good pitch by Hume.

3:00:24Tough one to lay off and Smith is out. Two outs here is Russell. Strike one. J John Stone's home run here in the ninth inning is tied it up. Russell is on it first. The singles in the right. Ken Landrow is the better. Russell is on it first. That's his third base. Hit. He's had a good afternoon. Three for five. Landrow is over four. And then he's not going to be going to the ball. He's over four. Five five were tied. Ninth inning. Strike one.

3:01:27It'll be a pinch hitter. We lead it off far since an ad team hit them. Fantastic. Son. Son. Broken bat face hit center field Russell stops at seconds. Orlando singles the center field and the Dodgers have the tie breaking run on at second base and dusty bikers a batter. Sepp's young gives it a good chase just can't quite reach it. The Dodgers with two outs.

3:02:29One run in. Have dusty backer up there and let's pause briefly for station identification. This is the NBC television network. This is WMA QTV Chicago. All one Joe Garajolo with Tony Cooper. Curried river front stadium tied five five. We're in the top of the ninth inning Dodgers have Russell at second Landro at first. Baker the batter. He doesn't get it. And I just wonder as we look at the base runners if the shadows are not a factor because they really have taken some people swings. Pictures in sunlight batters in the shadow. Outside two balls in one strike. Outside.

3:03:30Three in one. I'm here. Game up a lead off home run here in the ninth inning to pinch it or J John Stone. I'll back three and two the count. Three balls two strikes two out of the first round. They'll be off and running. There they go. Pull foul. 40,928 as we look at Russell hit back to second Landro back to first. Good crowd. They've seen quite a ballgame. And next week we'll have these same two teams from Los Angeles.

3:04:34Right center field. Griffey over. Case in it. Having trouble. Nice test by my he is in right field. Beautiful play by Sam Mahier. Here's the replay. Griffey had trouble right there. And Mahier comes out of nowhere and makes the grab. Just may have saved the ballgame definitely save two runs. We're going to the bottom of the ninth. We're all tied. Five, five. Sailing a tall ship is an old dream. But some men still dream it. And one four. And one four. And one four. And one fast. And make a farthest pass. And make a farthest pass. And make a farthest pass. Make a main top. I'm going to sleep. It's Millertine. Millertine. Time to head for shore.

3:05:34In the best tasting beer you can find. America's quality beer. Millert highlight. If you got the time, we've got the beer. There's a beer. Okay, which one? The alligator or the fox from JC Penny? Gee, the alligator has that terrific color, but so does the fox and fit, comfort, looks, easy care, fabric, they're all the same and colors. There's even a fox in raspberry. So what's the difference? About $5 less, see you later alligator. We're Exxon. We're Teresa Hobie, who helps load oil from the Alaska

3:06:38pipeline onto an Exxon tanker. We're Captain Silcox, who takes the oil from Alaska to the Panama Canal. We're the crew of a smaller Exxon tanker, bringing it through the canal to our refinery. We're Captain Warley in charge of moving products up the Mississippi. We're Toley Gooba, who distributes products to our customers. We're more than 100,000 people working on energy. We're Exxon. Danny Driesen is the pinch hitters. We look at the new second basement for the Dodgers. Peppy Freas, he's replaced Thomas Jager. He's come on to replace Socia behind the plate. Dave Stewart is a new pitcher. Driesen is the pinch hitter for Tom Hume. One fall and two strikes against the count on Dan Driesen. Out on strike, Dave Stewart who was the pitcher last night

3:07:39to winning pitcher. Six to two, two hundred pounder. He's two and all and he's got one out here in the bottom of the ninth and grippy the batter. Strike one. Five five were all tied. The curveball strike two. Tony Stewart looks fast. That one really was some change of face. Yeah, that was a change of curve. Joe, I think he throws off the hard. Big fastball slider. That was a curve. But I think it may be a little difficult to see with a shadow now over the hitter's area. Russell is there. Big half. Pulsing off the bag. Once again, Joe,

3:08:46he shot earlier. Russell, watch him flip this ball side on. I don't know if he's having trouble. He's not coming over the top and you throw side on him. You can either throw a synchronized this one did again. It's sales. On the throw as grippy hits the ball. Watch Russell. He throws off his front foot. In there. Here's conception. Jumped on that first when didn't get it and then strike one. John has sitting down here with Jerry Doggett who is one of the broadcasters for the Dodgers. He said this is the sloppiest game the Dodgers have played all year. And Russell with that little side on snap throw. Another error. That's three for the Dodgers. Might have been four or five. I'll straight back. Two strikes to count. Griffey's on it first. We're tied

3:09:53in the bottom of the nine five five. Conception. Oh for four. Davey with that double knob on his bat. He's the one that's a reminder. See it. He gripped it. Chokes up just a bit. Make sure he didn't get down on the end. He puts that extra knob on the bat. Good fastball. This is one ball two strikes. Stuart was at Albuquerque in 1980. 115 lost 10. This worked teneties so far. Earned run average. 0.00. There goes Griffey. A fall start. But he came back. He had me fake that. I'll tell you pop my

3:10:54string. Two balls and two strikes. He really gave it a good start. Tony. Well he saw you do not have a good jump. And like most smart base dealers really decided if I'm not going to make it I'm not going to get thrown out second base. I'll just come back. Yeager's behind the plate. He's got a good arm. Let's see what Griffey does this time. Holding. Took him out. Stuart gets his second strike out in this ninth inning. Like you just do it right by him. It's either cut fastball or a slider. Cut fastball off the plate. He couldn't hold up. You know. Stuart has gotten a break because young to steal. Man who taught Bobby to steal taught to strip on the ball as well as not pitch wild at the goal pencil. The sword has gone to Stuart more and more open. George Foster now. Foster. Line out hard. His last time up as one base hit. It's this

3:11:57strike. Last year in Elbacarkey Dave Stewart struck out 125. 77. And Quentin I always struck out 144. Nice play by Yeager. A 55 foot curve ball and he blocked nicely. Keep that ball in front of him. That's all you can do. Young catches. Look how he gets in front of that ball. It's all you can do. And with the curve ball it breaks back. It broke towards his left shoulder. And he had to get in front of it. And he did. Good play. One ball and one strike to count. Yeager's gotten four out of eight. I've come in the Steelers here. May have a chance here. Draws it through. He was late. And he had some ideas. Mac from here now. The dugout is all over the first base up. I say the ball can start an emotion. Motion. Tarno. But a little bit of intimidation going on. Getting on. Madagu. God, we just have an old trick with it.

3:13:02Cocker cracked that left knee. Drized it. It's so well. Looks like to go in the hole and then come behind the first. One ball and two strikes. Foster had a good strike. Stewart is raring back and firing. He's got a good loose right arm. It's almost like it's on hinges. Body like a weightlifter. So this guy. 200 pounds. Six two and looks been. Deep to right center field. Should be caught. Landon Guerrero. Guerrero says I'll take it and he does. So that ends the ninth inning. We have extra innings here in Cincinnati. The score again of nine complete innings. Dodgers five. Cincinnati five. One two three four five. Trouble spots like these are what separate Gillette

3:14:09Atro from all ordinary razors. The reason? The Atro pivot. It keeps the blades at a perfect shaving angle giving you better shaves than any razor that can't fit it. One two three four five. I have more reasons do you need to let Atro the pivot makes it better. Gillette when it comes to shaving we give you the edge. In Singapore, the gasoline is a dollar seven a gallon. Hampton is number one. Here in England, but petrol costs two dollars and sixty seven cents a gallon. The best selling spark plug is champion. It's the guy that they called off. In Italy, we pay a three dollar and forty two for a gallon of gasoline and the champion in the middle of the world. At the champions are number one in the USA too. And it should up the champions can save an average of one to two dollars per take full. Save with champion spark plugs. The world's number one seller. Tomorrow is taking shape. Introducing the 1982 Ford EXP, a new front wheel drive

3:15:10sport coupe carefully instrumented to keep you informed all from a beautifully contoured command position. EXP with two-seater excitement plus hatchback practicality. There's room for two plus a lot of room for a lot of living. Tomorrow is here. Ford EXP, the first of the 82's. Forty thousand nine hundred and twenty eight. And they've been treated to quite a ballgame. And the new pitcher for Cincinnati here in the 10th inning is Paul Muscoff. He'll be facing Steve Garvey. Garvey was at a perfect day. He walked in the first, hit a home run in the fourth, double and scored in the sixty single in the eighth. Ball on. Offs it up. Bench says I'll take it. Muscoff has

3:16:12been hit by the first bar. Bench makes the play. There's one out. Finally got Garvey out. Garvey first out. Ron say. Say pop to the third basement in the first. Bounced out five to three and a four. He had a two run home run to six and popped out to the third basement in the eighth. Strike one. Joe X turning games seem to follow this umpire and crew around. I was talking to Lee Wire while I go on the said this is their 33rd game this year. Twelve have been extra eighties. Nobody said it would be easily. And I tell you keep in mind those guys have been out there standing since the start of this game. They don't get the goons that on the bench like the ballplayers between any. It mean the swing and he's got himself a

3:17:16base hit. There's what you were talking about Tony. They overshift on him. So that time you didn't try it but since he overshifted it paid off. Well he's using the whole field a little bit more and he's setting a decision during the off season. I had to talk with Campanus in fact the general manager. Al Campanus and Campanus you just keep swinging the back pull the ball hit home runs and Ron said well I think I can hit home runs and still raise my average by going the other way. So what he decided is working for him. He's been hot. All one. Pedro Guerrero. Baltimore nine. Detroit two final camp of home run. DeCency had a pair of home runs. Murray had a home run. Winner's winning and losers Rosemar off the glove of rain night in the love field. Say is going to have preferred he'll make it and unusual because it looked like Ron say was going to stop it second and he

3:18:19saw the way Foster was going after the ball and he just continued on the third. Well a scouting reports. Charlie Metra's one man who scouts for the Dodgers as an end liver tart probably told him you look at say getting a good job. Low fostering the sleep. Foster not known for releasing the ball cooking or great throwing out and it's a good piece of bass training right there. By Ron say. One out first and third tomorrow on sports world a rematch of the Karate bout which is all last summer. Oak three Edwards defends his title against Ross Scott the man Edwards beat to take that ground. It's a grudge match and then we'll have some of the world's strongest women competing in a women's world powerlifting championships tomorrow four o'clock eastern daylight time on sports world. Joe the Ager up you always got to be aware of a squeeze play in this situation.

3:19:20Strike line. I've been going to play that often this year. It was freehouse known not known for his hitting in the on deck circle and when we started use those two. That's that pitch iters early in the ball game. Monday and Smith with a score tied. One strike. One ball and one strike on Jager this is his first time in fact. John Stone pinch hit for Sasha in the ninth inning and tied it up. That's a good one. Home is the man warming up for Cincinnati. One ball and two strikes. One man out all tied five five. We're not 10th inning. The first one.

3:20:24Moscow outside two and two. I'm going to 10th it'll be Johnny Finch. Rain Knight no stir. Didn't mean to swing back to Moscow. It's only place the first base. He makes it a good play by Moscow. He looked the man back to third. Say he couldn't go anywhere and then Moscow far to bench. Watch him look at the base runners. He comes up with it right there. He stops him and then gets his man. Good play. Joe he would have gone to third except Rain Knight and the check swing was coming in in case the play was messed up by Moscow. Nobody really was on third base but they didn't have the runner say hung up if somebody had been a third. John McNamara coming out now they're going to have a big meeting on the

3:21:25mound Oakland two Toronto nothing at the end of two heath of home run bomb back against Kio Boston. It's now six to one at the end of six final score. Baltimore nine Detroit two. Planting into winner Rosima was the loser. The Sunsy's home run the second with one on. Murray in the fourth nobody on the Sunsy's in the seventh nobody on the camp had one for the Tigers. Montreal and the Cubs the Cubs beat Montreal six to four final score. Burris was the loser. Russia was the winner. See only afternoon action outside of. This game okay guys I'll get it in trying to get the other scores. Double header next week you saw it right there. Billy ball will be watching that the amazing a's go to Toronto take on the Blue Jays and Cincinnati and the Dodgers as they walk free us.

3:22:26It's a big double header one o'clock Eastern time right here on NBC. Prius being intentionally walked and Ferguson is in the on deck circle as Las Sardas really goes to his bench. There's ball for. I wonder now if Tommy Las Sardas have a second thoughts of having pinched Monday and Smith. Back in the ninth inning with nobody on base. Well he was looking for that long ball I guess Tony from Monday and Reggie Smith. Got one from Johnston to tie it up he's funny to end it there. Now it's up to Ferguson. Ferguson has not played much at all. He's only been to bat ten times one base hit. So Musco with the bases loaded two outs scored tied five five.

3:23:37Low ball one. No Ferguson the pinch hitter for Dave Stewart. All two two and all. Now Musco has to back off and really take inventory here. Now bases are loaded. Two outs five five top of the 10. All ball. Say one thing Joe Musco did not let up two and all bases loaded. He didn't even the ball at all he let goes best fastball. It'll be Johnny Benchbri night and Ron Oster for Cincinnati but right now they're in the jam.

3:24:38Grebel's in a strike. Wowed on easy you'll hear the reaction. Musco walks in the run and the Dodgers take the lead six to five. Ferguson draws a big base on balls. Now you see the Dodger bench. Ferguson at first. Preus is at second Guerrero's at third. Bill Russell the batter. It's a strike. One ball and one strike two outs.

3:25:40Guerrero at third. Pepe free us at second. Joe Ferguson is at first. Tenth inning Dodgers have just taken the lead six five. Two and one to count. Jerry Pitch has been wild. He's been wild and exactly the same spot. He hasn't been able to adjust to the mound or get the release point that he wants down. It's always been low and away hasn't. He's been consistent with the wildness. Nolan just tried to break up the ball. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. He's been able to do it. And then it's time to break up the mood. Re-in-one. Try to adjust the overcompeting behind him.

3:26:43Walk the. John Maximair is going to make a pitching change. Dodgers 75 in the top of the 10th is Moscow, rented to a wild streak and we'll be right back as we make this pitching change after these messages. I'm playing ball, I don't care how much I sweat.

Jeff Coleman is a new picture for the Cincinnati Reds. He spent most of 1980 with Indianapolis. He was in 4 games with Cincinnati last year. He's in the winter loose, Annie. 185 pounds. Six footer. Mel Rose main birthplace.

3:28:46He faces Kenny Landrow. Dodgers lead by 275. Strike. Base is loaded. Moscow walked in two runs. Dodgers are taking a two run lead. Here in the 10th inning. Outside. One ball and one strike. That's his fork ball. Joey is not overpowering. St. Chris Slider little curve. He came up with that fork ball and that's made him the best. Got him the big leagues. Looks like that was it again, Tony. Yes it was. Two balls down. Two balls and one strike. You can see that Senate bill shot as he took the ball out of the club. And then he had to fork stuck in it.

3:29:49Base hit. One run is in. Here comes Ferguson. He'll score. He's heading for third. Russell Dodgers lead nine to five. A beginning for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ninth man to come to bat here in his city. Nasty Baker. Senate the few people home. Boy, look like fire hit the stands. I mean they're getting up there. A lot of seats empty now. Paul won. Thank you. This is a rough game for Cincinnati lose and a great one for the Dodgers. The Dodgers do it of course but because the Dodgers at time look like they're trying to give the ball game the Cincinnati with the airs behind Bellens Wella. Dodgers have done everything to try to lose it but they've got a big four run lead here in the 10th.

3:30:52Little check swing to the right side. It's down it off I say. Well hit left field. Curving it is a foul ball just barely foul. Nasty Baker disappointed but it's a foul ball. Lee wire right down the third baseline on top of the play. And Baker heads back. One ball and two strikes two outs. Four runs are in. Nine to five Dodgers lead were in the 10th. And the two balls two strikes. Russell's a third. Land row is it first. Jeff Kong in relation.

3:32:07And the three ball. Outside. Three balls two strikes. Land row will be off and running. And he was like reminding Russell that the bases are not loaded so he shouldn't start. He struck him out way out in front. So the ending end for the Dodgers and nine men with the plate. They score four runs. And as we go into the bottom half of the 10th inning it's a Dodgers nine. The reds five. Johnny Beck's, Ray Knight, Ron Oster for Cincinnati in the bottom of the 10th. White guard knows a man needs all the protection he can get. That's why a man needs White guard. White guard has a male effectiveness formula so strong. No matter which right yard you choose.

3:33:08It helps stop a man's first paration order all day long. A man works hard. But right guard works hard. Now there's new hard working right guard solid too. You know one of the best things about coming to America was that I got to try American beers. And I tried them all. I want to like beer from Miller. It's got a third less calories in the regular beer. It's less filling and it really tastes great. That's why I tell my friends from Mexico. But you come to America drink like beer. But don't drink the water. Like beer from Miller everything you always wanted in a beer and less. Who pet your forester? We have a new picture for the Los Angeles Dodgers Terry Forster is coming on in relief. Dodgers lead by four and we have a most valuable player to pick. And there are a lot of candidates. Garvey John Stone, Saint, Landro just got a big base hit.

3:34:13Valenzuela who you picking Tony? Stop. We can't have a six-way tie either can we? Nope. I got to go with Garvey. He said it. Garvey. Garvey. Walk home run, double single score to couple runs. Well I'm going for the spear carrier. The guy doesn't play too much. Got the big base hit to tie it up. John Stone. That's my vote. All right. Strike one. We're going to ask Steve Bansard to get our tie breaker here. Heat the right field. The railroad going back. He'll not get this one off the wall. Johnny French has himself a base hit. A double. One and a half to no one. That's his third hit. Been on base all five times. A couple of walks are seeing a double run. Short now another double. Steve Bansard, Spanish tradition Tony votes for Jay John Stone. So if the game ends the way it is now, we're going to give it to Jay John Stone.

3:35:16All right Jay John Stone, pinch it all out of the night. It broke the tie. Pinch it in. Great night. Here's the strike. NBC's baseball game of the week has been brought to you by Ford and your Ford dealer. We invite you to test drive the exp America's new personal sports group. By the Miller Brewing Company Brewers of Miller Highlight, you've got the time. We've got the beer. And by speed stick, super dry antiperspirant. The wide stick with more dryness to help bite wetness. Speed stick by menon. And by arco graphite, the black oil that reduces gas robbing friction in your engine. The oil that's fact, not friction. Two strikes to count on rain night. The executive producer of NBC Sports is down all-mire.

3:36:16The coordinating producer of baseball is Michael Weissman. The telecast of today's game of the week has been produced by George Finkel, directed by Harry Coil, our associate director, Mary Buda, our associate producer, Michael Hadley. The ball gets by Yager all the way to the screen. And Johnny Benchhead's for third. Of course, he has a tough slider. That's what this pitch is off the glove. I don't believe it's going to be charged with a wild pitch. That's what they call it a wild pitch. The official score rules it a wild pitch. Nobody out. Nine to five, Dodgers lead. The Dodger Bullpen gets active. The Dodger Bullpen gets out. The Dodger Bullpen gets out. Ron Say can't get it. Johnny Bench was scored. Nine has himself a double. And it's 96.

3:37:17It's all one serving down here. Does that fall at the bag or the scene? Say it looked like he was going to have a play on it, bowed it over his glove, over his hand. Here's the replay coming up. We'll see. He hit the dirt. Part with the dirt and the artificial surface coming together. And that's what made it bounce so high. Say may not have gotten it anyway. It wasn't playing on the line like he had in the last few years. It was a high ball game. Forster's going to leave it. You think there wasn't some gas in that room. Hard throwers with sausage and forster room together down in Appleton. Hard throwers but Bobby Castillo is coming on. We're going to have a pitching change in the bottom of the 10th. 96 Los Angeles leading the red. I'm playing ball. I don't care how much I sweat.

3:38:17It's part of the game. Oh, crap. But off the field, I want to feel nice and dry. And I want to smell nice. That's why I use speed sticks super dry and I'm perspred. It's the wide stick. Affect of protection with more dryness to help fight wetness. And it goes on dry so you can get dressed right away. So get on the stick. The wide stick. Speed stick, super dry and I'm perspred. Five menace. Unleash the spirit. Unleash the spirit. We'll strut us. Blue strut us. The spirited new men's colon and aftershave. As brisk and old as the open sky. Blue strut us. Blue strut us. For the free spirit in men. Unleash the spirit. Unleash the spirit. The blue strut us. The Bobby Castillo is a new picture for the Dodgers.

3:39:22Cincinnati with one run in. Great night on a second base. Nine to six Dodgers leading. The batter is Ron Oster. A steel 510 170 pounder. Barn lives Los Angeles. Balling from Monterey of the Mexican League in 1977. The screw ball. One ball. I mean a screw ball picture. Talking about its personality. He's heard it so many times. He's the one giving credit for teaching at the Valenzuela. Unball and one strike. Oster has two bases today. He's scored a run.

3:40:24Brack is called. Oster doesn't believe it. Dutch Brenner tells him about it again. He better back down. This Dutch is not going to take a whole lot of it. It's been a long hot day. It comes back. It comes back in America trying to get in between them. Just trying to keep his player in the game. When you go down here, Joe, you can see a lot of things. You can hear a lot. Obviously you can't up there. But the words are pretty strong by Ron Oster. Brenner very easily could have told him out of the ball. But that's the reason sign of a good umpire. If you have your seat now, I'll have mine. But I'll keep you in the game. I'll not play. Tony's position right next to the Dodger dugout. He's right at ground level. And I'm sure that he can hear it. The redder is soaking wet. He's been going to get cold towel on his neck in this heat. I really did the shade over the last two or two.

3:41:25I'll not play it once again. Rain nine at second base. We apologize for some technical difficulty. There's nothing wrong with your set. Problem leaving Cincinnati. I'll back again. Converning the one ball and two strikes on Ron Oster. Nine to six. We're in the bottom of the tent. The Dodger's are out in front. Rain nine is on his second base. Nobody out. He's only told fastballs to Oster. That was it. There it was. That was the scoop ball. I'm supposed to be. He got him. He got up in the strike zone. But the change of speeds made food Oster. You see it break away. Now you're a good spot.

3:42:25You can see him turn it over. Good job. You can see that arm just turn inside out. You can still get the big strike out. Here is Joe Nolan. One out. That's the pitch that used to use an old timer's called the out shoot. Here it is being in shoot. The scoop all the out shoot. Ball. Interesting math. He's called his fate away. Whatever happens on his great name. Two balls and no strikes. Rain nine is on its second base. Cincinnati looking for another base run to get that time run at the plate. Left field. Dusty Baker near the line should make the play.

3:43:27He does. There are two outs. Sam Mahias is being called back and Larry Bittner is come out of the Cincinnati dugout. He'll be the pinch hitter now for Sam Mahias. Two outs. Cincinnati trailing by three. Dodgers nine. Cincinnati six. Larry Bittner. Bittner hit it. Three eighty nine. He's been 15 games. Only been about 18 times with seven hits. No one runs his driven in five runs. The ball more beat to try nine to two red socks leading Milwaukee. Eighth inning sixty two.

3:44:36Strike one out of play. Bobby Castillo. Two biggest cheerleaders just to my left. The man he moated on Tommy Lasarda. Both talking in Spanish to Castillo. Left field. This should be it Baker. He's waiting for it. Makes the catch. And that ends the ball game. A tough loss for the Cincinnati Reds. A big win for the Dodgers. Four big runs in that tenth of the name. So the final score. Dodgers nine. Cincinnati six. The winning pitcher scored the losers. Moscow. And we'll be back with some highlights for you right after these messages. The new world car. Ford Escort. Now shows you another face.

3:45:36The 44th Escort. SS. It shows its stripes. Fools with front wheel drive. Handles with rack and pinion steering. Smooths with four wheel independent suspension. In forms. And in fights. The 44th Escort. SS. Built in America to take on the world. And do it. Here's to the dreams. Tonight is kind of special. I just come out for your green horn. We took a little detour. Detour. Detour for what? Well, we want to say thank you for putting up with these last couple of weeks. So we stopped at the store and picked up some long ground. But finally, you see folks are all right. When you want the taste of a truly great American beer. Tonight, let it be low and rough. We had such a good time. We're coming back next year. OK, but don't tell my horses that. The final score in tenenings. Los Angeles 9th. A Cincinnati Red 6th. The Dodgers had four home runs.

3:46:36And a big one by J. Well, they're all big. But the real big one stands out as the one by J. John Stone. It's tied it up. It's a pinch. It earned a ninth inning. So to strengthen that this week's NBC Miller Highlight Flair. The game is J. John Stone. Miller Highlight is happy to present a check for a thousand dollars. In the name of J. John Stone. The special ole that thinks. The winning team. The Dodgers, the loser is Paul Moskow. We're going to have some highlights. We'll be talking to some of the players. I see that Tony's already got some lined up. And we'll be right back after these messages from the local station. A promotional fee has been paid to NBC by United Airlines.

Looks like a strole-eyed man. Looks like a strole-eyed man. When things are going right, looks like a strole-eyed man. A strole-eyed man. Looks like a strole-eyed man. A strole-eyed man. A great taste in the air. It doesn't feel you have. Looks like a strole-eyed man. When good times come along. Running out of patience. A special report. Monday at 10 on Channel 5. Donters 9 since the 96 and other baseball leagues. Chicago Cubs beat Montreal 6-4. Philadelphia Pittsburgh, New York and St. Louis, San Diego Atlanta San Francisco at Houston tonight. In the American League, they're in the bottom of the fourth. Oakland, two Toronto, nothing. And over in Milwaukee, it's the Boston Red Sox.

3:49:38Eighth, the Milwaukee Brewers won at the end of eight. And Baltimore beat Detroit 9-2. That's the final. Texas at Seattle, Chicago at California. Minnesota's at Kansas City. Cleveland played the Yankees tonight in Yankees stadium. So that's it for the baseball. And right now, Tony is talking to Tom Lassort and Steve Garvey. And Tony, I know that fun play has got to be in Tom Lassort. It's mine and Garvey's there. So what will they be talking about? All right, Joe, the good looking guy is over there. That's the start of this. This is Steve Garvey. Steve had a pretty good day at home run. A double, a walk, a couple of runs scored. It was a nice day for you. But I want to get to this man first, because he's the senior citizen right here. A bun play. You made a comment a while ago. Bunts have played an important part today and in yesterday's ballgame. What about the balance of the way to play? Well, the balance will play, Tony. It was a play that we called from the bench. That was supposed to be a pickoff play at second base. So everybody was breaking to the respective bases. Russell broke to short. He was supposed to come back. And when he peeled the ball, Steve come running in. Now he picks the ball up.

3:50:38And there's no one there because Darryl Thomas had come to second base for the pickoff play. And this is where the play got fouled up. And that's how all the runners scored. So the balance will really shouldn't have been going to home play with that pitch. It should have been going second. That's right. He should have been throwing the ball to second base. Steve, you came up with a pretty good day. You've been struggling a little bit. It was a nice day for you. Scarred some runs. A little bit, Tony. Again, making contact as the key getting on base. I think Jay Johnstone showed people just exactly what the spirit of this 81 Dodger team is about. We weren't giving up. He comes, gets a big home run. And we add onto it. And we have a little cushion in that last half that inning. The phenomenon of the year up till this point has been a man called Fernando Valenzuela. Have you ever seen anything like it? Well, not really. Not anybody come up as a rookie like he has and just dazzle everybody. He's done tremendous job. And even today, the one error was really the turnaround that put us even. But he's done a tremendous job, of course. What was happening in Valenzuela when he came to the bench? I know you had a couple of conferences with him when he came in after the bun play. Got some things. He didn't seem rattled at all.

3:51:38But he goes out there and just keeps on throwing strikes. As tremendous points for a 20-year-old youngster. I'm telling you, nothing rattle in when he gets met on base in crucial situations. It just takes a deep sigh of breath and he's right there. He's tremendous. The boys, the young man, has been very, very impressive to all of us. Steve, this has been a tremendous start for the Dodgers. And I know you've been on other Dodgers teams before. How would you rate this ball if you had some injuries to Reggie Smith? Royce gets hurt earlier. But this ball club has a lot of depth and balance, doesn't it? Sure does, Tony. Any championship team has to have a great bench. And that's what we have. That was evidence that A. were John Stone. Other players getting key hits. At this point, the first two months of the season, this could be the best onto the team I've ever played on. Again, we're waiting to see after 162 games, but it has the potential in a show. Let me second guess you. Can I do that one time? Sure. Go right on. Now you get a tie ball game. John Stone, it's the home run. You shoot two left-handed hitters up there. Now you come late in the ball game. You got right-handers left. Did you think twice about that? Well, we thought the first thing that ran through my mind was the other day when McGraw was pitching and Monday hit a home run.

3:52:40I was looking for another home run. We didn't want to go into extra innings. And I figured out a hole in one. That's what we were thinking about. What about your competition and the rest of the way? Obviously this ball came across. The field is good. Houston with a slow start. They've got exceptional pitching. Atlanta had a good finish last year. So the Western to Vizni, even though you've got the good start, you expected to be tight right down to September. Well, we respect all of them. Of course, you mentioned Houston with great pitching. Atlanta with a young team has got great offense. This team has the better. And so we've had to go out of the day and play like we did today. And this is a key road trip because we're playing Cincinnati and going to Atlanta for four. So we'd like to keep rolling. I see the glint in his eyes. We're talking post-patterance. He enjoys being right. Or he has the first thing he says, hey man, six and a half. It's a lot of fun. But that's winning too. He's usually a non-discriminating either. Either. He eats a lot when we win or when we lose. But now he's on a diet. That's one of the keys to the season. Steve, he's pulling you guys. Because we were out here early last yesterday during the day. And he said I'm going to jog three and a half miles. He ran 100 yards when out of the ballpark. He may have walked. And then he ran 100 yards in the ballpark. You don't run three miles. I think you're putting a sign.

3:53:41Oh yes I did. In fact, I'm up to five miles Tony. Yeah, I feel real good. And it's making me keep in me in shape. And it's cutting down on my appetite. I feel real good. Fernando Vellan's wheyland. And Houten the course. And Royce. And Stuart coming out of the bullpen. You haven't had much to worry about this for a while. There's a couple of injuries. Maybe you'd like to see Reggie back, I'm sure. How could you say after watching these last two games? I have nothing to worry about. These games are kill managers. You know that. All right, I'm going to let you guys go and throw it back up. Steve Garvey, congratulations to you. Tommy LaSarda. We get stuck in town. We're going to let you join Aguilets you by his dinner. All right. Take care. Joey. Okay Tony. Well, it looks like we may have a free dinner going for us. It was quite an afternoon of baseball. Here we all tuned in. We all wanted to see the young phenom Vellan's wheyland. He gave a pretty good account of himself. Although he did was not the picture of record. The picture of record ends up to be Stuart who wins his second game in a row here. He won last night. The loser's Moscow went to a wild streak. The final score dodges nine since the 96 dodges with big home runs.

3:54:44Garvey hit one, say hit one. John Stone's tied it up. But the final score, well nine to six. It's a hard one for Cincinnati because that based on falls. That's what didn't. So right now we want to show you what's going to be happening on NBC tomorrow. We'll be back after this. Tomorrow, the ring side with tomorrow's champion says knockout artist Tony Ayala takes on veteran Pat Hallecy. Plus Boston's Danny Long battles the undefeated Alex Ramos, followed by NBC Sports World. As the action on the canvas continues, its dynamite martial art karate combined with a power of heavyweight boxing. It's the exciting PKA championships. Then, muscles, rippling, biceps, balls. As the world's strongest women, humbire in the world powerlifting championships. That's all tomorrow on NBC Sports. We talked about the Dodger home runs. Garvey started it with one and a fourth. Darryl Thomas hit one and a fifth.

3:55:44Say hit a two run homer. But a man and a ninth and end who has been known more for his antics off to feel. Hit one to tie it. Tony, you have Mr. Jay John Stone with you. All right, here he is to my right. A man who's been around. He's been known in an endearing fashion as the resident flake. Whether it's true or not. That means lovingly. The guys that call you that don't mean it derisively. It's not from Howard, huh? No, it's not from Howard. What kind of fits did you hit? It was a fast ball and it was in and it was somewhat up. But he threw the pitch before that. To tune wanting through a fast ball. I thought it could have been called a ball. And so all I said, I choked up a little bit. Remember, you threw batting practice the other day to us. And we talked about me opening up too soon. And such that I got a stake closed and hit the ball hard somewhere. And when I hit the ball, all I did was try and say, well, I hit it good. I'm watching the atmosphere because I lost the ball. I said, if he tries to play it off the wall, I go for a double. And if he fowls it up, I'll try and stretch it to a triple. So we have a runner or third with no one. So you don't expect it to go out. I didn't, I just hit the ball. And you're just missing so long since I've got to hit there.

3:56:45You know, it's been about a two weeks. So I knew it felt good. But you know, you can't really tell. I'm not a home run hitter. And I don't try to profess to be. So I just hit the ball hard and trying to get it by the end of the lesson. Not, yeah. A fellow Jimmy LeFeavers father has been your hitting coach. I know over the years and change your batting stance. May have gotten you back in the major leagues a couple years back. When a lot of people and I think yourself, you may have thought you were washed up. But you don't do you ever call him or talk to him. I talk to him every winter. And I call him and invite him out of the games when Jimmy comes in. I somehow his dad is doing Jimmy's a batting coach for San Francisco Giants. And ask him if he wants to come out. And but Benny is coaching a team and in Los Angeles. And so he's quite busy. But I talk to him every winter and make sure that I'm not doing anything wrong. And it's just price-pureful he wants to make sure I'm doing everything right. So I haven't lost touch with him. But I really have to say that he's the one responsible for getting me back to the big leagues. Can I let you go without talking about because you've seen Fidritz when he was in his heyday with Rookie the Year. But Fernando Valenzuela. Any kind of special opinions or expressions you can use to find him?

3:57:48Well, there's one of these guys that comes along every 10-12 years. I think Cincinnati had won a few years back when Simpson. There's been a couple of other I've seen, maybe a Bo Balinsky or Sammy Ellis, Wally Bunker back with the Baltimore. But a vital blue when he came up with Oakland. But every now and then you get a guy like this that comes up that has all the ability. And it's remarkable what they can do at that young age. Jay, thanks a lot. Our guest down here along with Garvey. And of course time in the start of the left. Jay Johnstone, thanks Jay. Back up the joy. Okay, Tony, the final score once again. The Dodgers 9 is Cincinnati 6. 9 runs, 14 hits and three errors. Stewart, the winning relief. Valenzuela had to leave the ball game. The loser for Cincinnati and relief. Moscow. 24 hits in the ball game. Four home runs for the Dodgers. Garvey had one and a fourth. Darryl Thomas and a fifth. The two run homer by Santa's sixth. And Jay Johnstone has heard Tony. And he talked about it. Tied it up into ninth inning with a pinch hit home run. So the Dodgers make a two in a row over the Cincinnati Reds as they defeat him by the score of 9 to 6 in extra innings.

3:58:54Valenzuela put on quite an exhibition here. He got in trouble, got out of it. And one of his better games. But he's not the picture of record. But the Dodgers do put a big W on the scoreboard, a bitter loss for the Cincinnati Reds. So for Tony Cooper, Joe Garajolo saying so long. Final score once again. Dodgers 9, Cincinnati 6. Next Saturday, it's an exciting double header starting at one o'clock Eastern time. First see Philly Ball. The open aides against Toronto. Our Pittsburgh and Montreal. In the second game, we'll be watching these same Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles doctors go ahead at this time from Los Angeles. Our Houston and San Francisco. Tomorrow has three o'clock Eastern time. It's tomorrow's champions, boxing from San Remo, Italy, followed by NBC Sports World 4. That's between PK, Karate and Women's Powerlifting.
